Join Ram Vakkalanka for a journey into the highly respected and time-tested yogic text – BhagavadGita.
In this course, Ram will present the geo-political history of the BhagavadGita, take us through the fascinating story of the Mahabharata before delving in to the teachings of BhagavadGita.
BhagavadGita is a perennial source of practical wisdom for life. In Gita, we find transformational wisdom about the simplest aspect of life to the sublimest. From what kind of food to eat all the way to highest Vedanta philosophy, no important aspect of life is left untouched by Gita. Gita helps people in all modes of life in transforming themselves. Over thousands of years, Gita has guided millions of seekers in their quest to find their Dharma, balance spiritual aspirations and societal obligations, contribute their best to the community and lead most fulfilling lives. BhagavadGita can be an interesting historical document, intriguing philosophical work, instructional manual for how to live life as well as the best self-help book ever written, depending on how one approaches it. The wisdom of Gita is in deed worth a life-time of study, for it shows man how to soar to Divine heights by drawing energy from spiritual practices as well as worldly responsibilities, just as a bird draws strength from both its wings for its flight.
