Free Webinar: Aparokshanubhuti – A Journey Within with Jnaneswari Chaitanya – Dec 2024

"I have been studying the Bhagavad Gita with Jnaneshwari continuously in a small group setting for the past 2 years and it has been a transformative life experience for me. I am able to have more control of my emotions, feel less anxious about life, am less judgmental, and fully trust that all that happens to me is for my growth ultimately. The sublime teachings taught with repetition from week to week allows me to learn drop by drop, and Jnaneshwari makes it so enjoyable. Each week the class engages in a 90 minute discourse where we are free to ask as many questions as necessary to understand the language of the text. I have also learned that the study happens over time and each week’s teaching builds on the previous week. Patience, humility, understanding, forgiveness self and others, self-control, and trust are some of the virtues that have been improved in my life over the past 2 years. I look forward to this precious time weekly with my classmates new and old"

"Thanks to her excellent instruction style and depth of teaching, I am happy to say that I now am in my fourth Bhagavad Gita class with Jnaneshwari Chaitanya and looking forward to the next. She brings a shining enthusiasm and extensive knowledge to every class. Even though I started in the middle of the Gita discourses, a very helpful overview was provided so that I never felt lost or confused. Her classes reveal layer upon layer of meaning that can only be learned through expert commentary and discussion. The concepts here carry over into so many forms of sadhana practice: meditation, karma yoga, bhakti, Vedic scripture study and all the other works of Swami Sivananda. The Bhagavad Gita courses taught by Jnaneshwari Chaitanya are a perfect foundation for growth on this path. Join us and be amazed at the understanding that comes from this incomparable text."

"I absolutely love Gita's course by Jnaneswari Chaitanya. Can't wait every Monday to hear her teaching. Her voice is so calming, when you listen to her, you feel like a reborn. My first course led by her was in February after I found an advertisement for the ashram on Instagram. 6 weeks later I was 100% sure that I would love to participate in the next course. And here I am : more peaceful, caring and loving woman on her spiritual path surrounded by great teachers as Jnaneshwari! Thank you! "

"I completed my yoga teachers training in 2000 at the Ashram in Bahamas and although the Bhagavad Gita was part of the curriculum, I can honestly say I didn't really understand or appreciate it. As life got more complex and and the world seemed increasingly fragile I felt drawn to spiritual teachings that could offer some explanation of our true purpose here, along with tools to separate things that are important from those which are not. I enrolled in the online course taught by Jnaneshwari Chaitanya , which explores the Gita, in-depth, chapter by chapter. Jnaneshwari is a compassionate teacher who can explain complex ideas clearly and at a pace that allows for a deep understanding of the concepts. It still amazes me that words that were written over five thousand years ago can help make sense of the struggles that the world currently faces, while giving us a blueprint for keeping our own equilibrium. Although it would be lovely to be able to be at the Ashram, the online course allows for a weekly "visit" without all the travel that a trip would entail. I highly recommend this course taught by Jnaneshwari."

"I have been enjoying the study of the Bhagavad Gita with Jnaneshwari for almost 2 years. The clarity of her explanations helps us to apply the lessons and understand that this profound work applies equally to a member of contemporary society as it did to the ancient seers and visionaries. Her patience, her ability to relate the material to our lives, her insightfulness into this great work makes her a convincing and delightful teacher. Thank you, Jnaneshwari. I am blessed to be able to participate in your class."

Jnaneshwari is a devoted, insightful, organized, intelligent and open hearted teacher. I have greatly enjoyed and have been inspired by her Bhagavad-Gita and Raja Yoga courses. She has filled in so many gaps in my yoga education. I feel like I’ve received a PhD in Sivananda Yoga studies! She is very open to students’ opinions and questions and always has an answer or a lighthearted story to bring home a point. If she does not have a suitable answer, she very reliably researches one and brings it to the next class. Not only am I a more informed yoga teacher because of her courses, but my personal practice has been reignited with truth and passion. I am deeply grateful for the teachings she presents in a logical, concise manner. She is very dedicated to making sure each student understands the material. she has gone out of her way on several occasions to make sure I get what I need from the course. I cannot say enough good things about Jnaneshwari, hee teaching style and the material she presents. Every single class I have had with her has taught me something profound and has brought me one step closer to liberation. Every class. With the most sincere gratitude,
