In this course, you will journey through the inspiring teachings of Bhagavad Gītā Chapter 7: The Yoga of Wisdom and Realisation, discovering how devotion, self-surrender, and spiritual knowledge come together to reveal the Divine within ourselves and throughout all existence, or “Vāsudevaḥ sarvam” all this is Vāsudeva, the innermost Self.

• Discover the Divine presence in all of life — explore Śrī Krishna’s teaching that He is the source, essence, and support of everything that exists, while remaining the transcendent and actionless Self.
• Understand Prakṛti, the three Guṇas, and Māyā — learn how Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas shape our experience of life, and how Māyā veils the recognition of our true nature and our oneness with God.
• Learn to turn the mind toward God — discover how remembrance of the Divine, contemplation of His qualities, and taking refuge in Him help steady the mind and awaken genuine devotion.
• Experience how Bhakti prepares the way for Self-knowledge — see how love of God deepens as the mind becomes increasingly absorbed in the Divine, leading the seeker toward knowledge of the Self.
• Explore the journey from Jñāna to Vijñāna — understand the important distinction between Parokṣa Jñāna, indirect knowledge of Brahman received through the Upaniṣads, and Aparokṣa Jñāna, the direct realization of the Self.
• Discover Īśvara as the source of creation — explore how the Lord is both Upādāna-kāraṇa, the material cause of the universe, and Nimitta-kāraṇa, its intelligent or efficient cause.
• Deepen your understanding of Brahman and the world — through the classic Vedāntic illustrations of the rope and snake and the ocean and waves, discover how the entire universe depends upon Brahman while Brahman remains ever free and independent.
• Discover the transforming power of self-surrender — learn why Māyā is difficult to overcome and how taking refuge in the Lord provides a path beyond its limitations toward freedom and Mokṣa.
• Explore the many ways a seeker approaches God — meet the four kinds of devotees described by Śrī Krishna, from those who turn to God in times of need to the Jijñāsu, who longs for spiritual knowledge, and the Jñānī, established in Self-knowledge.
• See how devotion blossoms into wisdom — discover the ideal of the Jñānī-Bhakta, whose devotion becomes unwavering and who ultimately realizes “Vāsudevaḥ sarvam” — all this is Vāsudeva, the innermost Self.
• Learn to distinguish temporary happiness from lasting fulfillment — understand why finite desires bring finite results, while turning toward the Supreme leads to the infinite goal of liberation, Mokṣa.
• Contemplate Krishna as the Highest Self — go beyond the outward form to discover His deeper nature as the unborn, imperishable, self-luminous Reality that is not fully perceived because of the veil of Yoga Māyā.
