Throughout life, human beings seek freedom in countless ways. We long to be free from fear, anxiety, limitation, sorrow, and dissatisfaction. We seek happiness, fulfillment, security, and peace, believing that their attainment will bring us lasting contentment.
Yet even when our desires are fulfilled, the search continues. New goals arise, new longings emerge, and the heart remains restless. Beneath our many pursuits lies a deeper yearning—a longing for something lasting, complete, and unchanging. This universal experience raises a profound question: What is it that we are truly seeking?
In this webinar, we will explore selected teachings from the Bhagavad Gita that illuminate the nature of the soul, the search for happiness, and the path toward inner freedom. These timeless teachings invite us to look beyond the changing circumstances of life and discover a deeper source of peace, wisdom, and fulfillment.
One of the most revered spiritual scriptures in the world, the Bhagavad Gita is a timeless dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna. It offers practical guidance for daily life, answers to many spiritual questions, and a clear path toward inner peace and Self-realization.
Drawing on the traditional teachings of the Gita, Jnaneshwari Chaitanya will guide participants through several inspiring verses and explore their meaning and relevance to daily life and spiritual practice.
This webinar is open to all sincere seekers who wish to deepen their understanding of themselves and discover the wisdom that leads to a more peaceful, purposeful, and spiritually fulfilling life.
In this webinar we will explore:
- The Eternal Nature of the Soul
- The Search for Lasting Happiness
- The Happiness That Comes From Within
- The Highest Freedom
This webinar will also serve as an introduction to the upcoming course on Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita The Yoga of the Supreme Spirit: Discovering the Eternal Source of Life.
