Bhagavad Gita
JKYog India's Bhagavad Gita online class in English is a transformative spiritual education program that has left a profound impact since its inception in 2018. Led by Divakar Boyanapalli, this class is based on Swami Mukundananda's enlightening commentary, "Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God." Swami Mukundananda's interpretation sheds light on the timeless teachings of Shree Krishna and offers profound insights into life's deepest questions.

Through interactive sessions conducted via Zoom, participants embark on a journey of self-discovery, delving deeper into the profound wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. What sets this program apart is its emphasis on providing opportunities for participants to engage in Q&A sessions and access Swami Mukundananda's insightful video lectures on the Gita. This approach enhances understanding and fosters a deeper connection with the teachings, guiding participants on their spiritual path.

The Bhagavad Gita, an epochal Indian classic, needs no introduction. It is a comprehensive summary of Vedic philosophy. It is set in the narrative framework of a discourse between Shree Krishna and his friend and disciple Arjuna, who finds himself paralysed by indecision amid the battle in Kurukshetra. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, for help. Krishna responds by delivering a timeless discourse on the meaning of life, discussing topics such as spirituality, courage, honour, death, and love. This dialogue has become a key text in Hindu philosophy and is widely studied for its insights into these important aspects of human existence.

Bhagavad Gita provides a deeply philosophical understanding of the world, or Brahma Vidya, and describes clear-cut techniques to implement spiritual precepts in everyday life. This is why it is also called Yog Shastra—it deals with methodologies for the application of spiritual knowledge, such as karma yoga, jnana yoga, and bhakti yoga. Swami Mukundananda's commentary contains crystal-clear explanations, scriptural references, and witty stories, leading the reader page-by-page on the path to everlasting peace and happiness.
