Introduction to Bhagavad Gita
In a series of early morning conversations, a time when the mind is clear and the working day has yet to begin, we are offering an introduction to the Bhagavad Gita – how to live a life of purpose, action and happiness.
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the great spiritual books of the world. It is a universal philosophy that recognises the negative and positive tendencies that lie within each of us. It offers a science to refine one’s emotions to enable one to think and act, and to move beyond all limitations.
The classes are open to everyone and are supported through donations. As we work through the Gita, each class is self-contained, so please be confident to attend - you will be very welcome!
The classes will begin on Monday 13 May 2024, from 8am-9am UK time on a weekly basis every Monday via Zoom.
We are following the edition by A. Parthasarathy. We will gladly send you the Verses we are studying for your first couple of classes until you acquire a copy for your own study. We c copies of the edition we are using so please get in touch to get your own copy.

In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial.
