A 12 week course - This is not a mere reading of the book, but an introductory course designed to understand core concepts + grasp the high-level map of the Bhagavad Gita.
The course is conducted in a small group of 8-10 participants.
Best Part: The course is led by Gokulmuthu N, an IIT Madras alumnus and senior techie, who regularly writes and speaks on Vedanta, the Gita, and Vivekananda.
This 12-week course follows a top-down approach. Core concepts and categories are introduced first, helping participants understand the high-level map of the Bhagavad Gita. Then, key slokas are explored to anchor these concepts scripturally. Participants learn to interpret the literal and implied meanings of slokas. Finally, we discuss how to redesign life and create a personalized daily routine to form habits aligned with the new knowledge gained.
