🔹 WORKSHOP CONTENT 🔹
Explore the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā through the insights of Theosophical writer Swami T. Subba Row. This workshop will journey through the 18 discourses of the Gītā, its setting in the Mahābhārata, and the inner struggle of Arjuna. Key themes include karma and the immortal Self, the Gunas or qualities of life, Rāja Yoga and its relationship to other yogas, and the meaning of dharma—both divine and demoniacal. We will also consider sacrifice, renunciation, and the necessity of spiritual renewal.
