The Bhagavad Gita Course

A life of connection and oneness through Self mastery and Self discovery

Journey Through Life’s Battlefield:Although a dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna in the middle of the Mahabharata war, the Bhagavad Gita is really a profound flow of meaning between jiva, the individual and Bhagavan about the battlefield of life.

We battle with ourselves and the world desperately seeking answers to these questions – How can I have work-life balance? How can I manage my mind?

For centuries, seekers have found solace and wisdom in the Gita’s teachings. Now, amidst the complexities of modern life, its wisdom is more relevant than ever.

The Bhagavad Gita (The Lord’s song) can truly bless those who seek.

Stotram Chanting

To be able to pray is a huge privilege. And all of us (irrespective of our gender, class, nationality differences) have been blessed with this privilege to pray.

A prayer is centred on a self conscious and self-judging person relating to an altar. The mode employed by the person praying is never the same – it differs from person to person. Even for a given person it differs from time to time. A prayer can be a simple mental or oral chant or a strict elaborate vedic ritual. 

There are three different forms of karma, action, in prayer: kāyikam, physical, vācika, oral and mānasam, mental. Performing a ritual is a physical form of prayer. Singing praises of Bhagavān is an oral form of a prayer while chanting a mantra silently is a mental prayer. 

 

Puja

The What, Why and How of it 

 Why of Puja? 

All of us have a very important and fundamental relationship whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we like it or not, and that relationship is with Iśvara, the Lord. In this relationship, one may be an agnostic, an atheist, a believer or a devotee, but related, one is.  

 Puja is one of the most beautiful ways to invoke the devotee in oneself and establish a relationship with Iśvara, the Lord. Puja is called Kāyikam karma, an action involving one’s limbs. It also includes speech and mental action in the form of chanting and thinking of the Lord.
