Timeless wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. A four-week, online series.

The Bhagavad Gita, which means “Song of the Divine,” is arguably the most important scripture to ever emerge from India. The 18 short chapters consist of a conversation between the renowned warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna at the dawn of a great battle between good and evil. 

It’s often said that the battle of the Gita is also taking place in our own consciousness, and each of our decisions, large or small, can lead us either to liberation or to bondage. In their dialogue, Krishna offers Arjuna answers to life’s most challenging questions, making the Bhagavad Gita a handbook for living a life of purpose and freedom.    

The Gita describes in detail the main forms of Yoga, including Karma (Service), Jnana (Wisdom) and Bhakti (Devotion) and offers insight and guidance to overcome the greatest challenges facing us on the spiritual path. But Krishna doesn’t mince words with Arjuna, his instructions are practical and straightforward and the wisdom found in the Gita is as relevant today as it was when it was introduced thousands of years ago. 

This text has been a major influence on our own personal journeys and we have had the good fortune of spending months in India studying the Bhagavad Gita with the acclaimed writer and spiritual teacher, Vanamali.

The teachings Vanamali shared with us is the inspiration for this course, and although we have offered it a few times now, each time we investigate the wisdom of the Gita, something new arises, a deep knowing percolates, resonates, and inspires us - also sometimes confounds us! We find it especially helpful to talk through these profound and glorious discoveries with other curious minds and hearts. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the Gita, or if you’ve read it a hundred times, this workshop is for everyone! Join us on for a journey through these timeless teachings!

We will use the Eknath Easwaran translation as our main text, but we encourage you to round up one or two additional editions of the Bhagavad Gita. It’s fun to compare different authors’ interpretations.
