Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7: The Yoga Of Wisdom and Realization
Jnaneshwari Chaitanya
6 WEEKLY SESSIONS, Mondays, 7:00-8:30pm ET
Course description:
The Bhagavad Gita is a dialog between Lord Krishna and Arjuna. This dialog is taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. There, in the middle of the battlefield, Lord Krishna, during the course of His most interesting and instructive talk with Arjuna, reveals the profound, sublime and soul-stirring spiritual truths. The eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita expound the rare secrets of the different yoga paths.
Chapter 7 takes us on a journey toward understanding what Supreme knowledge is, and that after knowing it, nothing more in this existence remains to be known.
This knowledge is to be attained by the sincere aspirant who cultivates supreme devotion and self-effort. Lord Krishna beautifully and vividly explains about the nature of the Supreme and His manifestations, as well as the means to union which is the goal of all meditations.
Join us on this inspiring journey. Deepen your knowledge. Understand more about the Supreme Goal. Learn how to cultivate devotion. Learn about your own lower and higher nature and about the principal of self-effort and grace.
