A life of connection and oneness through
Self mastery and Self discovery
The Bhagavad Gita reveals the vision that you are amrtam (not subject to death) and the joyful way of living to see the vision. The Gita is Amrtam because it is complete teaching of the sweet essence of the Vedas.
Topics :
The Bhagavad Gita comprises 700 verses spread over 18 chapters and occurs in the middle of the Mahabharata. The complete teaching includes two important topics which are interwoven in a rich tapestry.
a. Brahmavidya – An enquiry into your essential nature, your relation with Bhagavan and the world.
Brahmavidya transforms your life into a blessing as you understand – Who am I? Who and what is God? Is he here and now? What is my connection to God? Is the world real or an appearance? and much more.
b. Yogashastra – The values, attitudes and orientations to live a joyful life and assimilate the vision of the unchanging Atma.
Yogashastra delves into topics of karma, how to deal with the mind, how to have happy relationships, the definition of yoga, who a yogi is and much more.
