The Divine conversation between supreme God Shree Krishna and his friend and disciple Arjun, known as the Bhagwad Gita, is one of the most popular Hindu scriptures. It is known the world over, and has been read and recited by many who have been impressed and inspired by it. However, to truly understand it and learn to live one's life by its principles, correct guidance is required. In his books and lectures, Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj has explained the sophisticated concepts of the Gita in a simple and practical way as they relate to the path of bhakti. Drawing on these explanations, Swami Nikhilanand will lead this interactive class, in which he will review the three or four most important teachings of each chapter in a compelling and interactive format. In these first four sessions, he will cover Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Gita. This class will help you remove doubts, answer questions, and develop a stable foundation of spiritual knowledge that will form the basis for your devotional practice.
