Calling all sincere seekers and students of Vedanta!
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most revered texts of spiritual wisdom—an eternal guide for living with clarity, strength, and inner freedom. Spoken by Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, its teachings continue to illuminate the path for seekers around the world.
In this free 90-minute webinar, Rukmini Chaitanya will set the stage for a deep study of Chapter Two, the very heart of the Gita. Known as Sankhya Yoga, Chapter Two contains Krishna’s first and most essential teachings—covering the nature of the Self, the purpose of life, right action, and the path to lasting peace.
You’ll receive an accessible overview of the Mahabharata and how the Gita fits within it, along with a clear explanation of why Chapter Two is considered the foundation of the entire text. Rukmini will introduce its key themes, including the immortality of the soul, equanimity in action, and the beginnings of Karma Yoga and Jnana Yoga.
You’ll also get a preview of the upcoming 12-week course, where Rukmini will guide you verse-by-verse through Chapter Two, offering insights from traditional commentaries—especially the Advaitic teachings of Adi Shankaracharya and the profound explanations of Madhusudana Saraswati.
Whether you’re new to the Gita or returning with deeper longing, this webinar is the perfect doorway into a transformative study of its most essential chapter—offered with clarity, context, and authentic spiritual guidance.
