Bhagavad Gita Study Group
### Bhagavad Gita Study Group
**Planned Start Date:** Wednesday, March 11, 2026
**Wednesdays\, 7:00 PM \- 9:00 PM \| Ongoing**
**Where:** Toronto Theosophical Society, 792 Glencairn Ave, Toronto, ON
**Format:** In-person (Zoom considered for special circumstances)
**Main Text (free PDF):** *[Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is](https://www.prabhupada-books.de/pdf/Bhagavad-gita-As-It-Is.pdf)* by **H.D.G. Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada**
Physical books are available in exchange for donation.
This weekly study group offers an opportunity to explore the **Bhagavad Gita**, one of the foundational texts of **Vedic philosophy**, through sustained reading, reflection, and thoughtful dialogue.
The Bhagavad Gita addresses fundamental questions of **consciousness, duty, freedom**, and **the nature of reality**. Presented as a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Sri Krishna, it offers insight into paths of **knowledge, devotion**, and **action**—and examines how these integrate within human life and spiritual development.
The approach will be:
* Textual study combined with open discussion and inquiry
* Exploration of Vedic philosophy, cosmology, and psychology
* Question-and-answer format to support understanding
* A complete picture of the cultural and spiritual context
This group is suitable for:
* Those new to the Bhagavad Gita or Vedic philosophy
* Students continuing their study of Eastern spiritual traditions
* Anyone interested in consciousness, ethics, and the structure of reality
* Participants seeking grounded philosophical inquiry alongside spiritual exploration
**No prior background is required**—only openness, curiosity, and a willingness to engage thoughtfully with the material.
***
**About the Teacher**
**Radhikatma Prabhu** is a disciple in the **Brahma Sampradaya**, one of four authorized Vedic lineages. He received second-level initiation from his spiritual master, **Tamal Krishna Goswami**, who was a direct disciple of **H.D.G.A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada**, the scholar and teacher who brought Vedic knowledge to the Western world and founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Radhikatma Prabhu spent many years studying and practicing in **Israel, Europe and India**, where he received training in Vedic rituals and holds the traditional status of **Brahmin**. During his formation, he worked closely with Tamal Krishna Goswami, who in addition to his spiritual leadership was an accomplished academic, holding a **B.A. in Religious Studies** and a **Ph.D. from Cambridge University**, where he authored nine volumes of scholarly work. This period of close service deepened Radhikatma Prabhu's understanding of both the **devotional and philosophical dimensions** of the tradition.
He brings to this study group both the authenticity of traditional lineage transmission and the ability to make these teachings **accessible and relevant** to contemporary students seeking to understand Vedic philosophy and apply it.

Mid-Week Eucharist
We are a church community that supports the neighbourhood spiritually and pastorally. Besides the Sunday morning service at 10 am, we also gather in the middle of the week for a simplified Eucharist as we notice some people might be rarely in town on weekends. We worship, pray, read, listen to reflection and receive the Holy Communion together. Whether or not you are a church-goer, you are welcome to join!

Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn!
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly.
Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
Libera Animae - Freeing the Soul
Main Library, Meeting Room 2B
What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world?
In this gathering, we'll continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount from a mystical perspective. Together we’ll explore Matthew 5:13–16, looking not only to the passage as moral instruction, but also to the deeper transformation of consciousness that Jesus invites. Together we'll reflect on how spiritual awakening changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection.
All backgrounds are welcome.
