Insights into The Bhagavad Gita

with Jim Ryan

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world's great classical spiritual texts. Composed in Sanskrit, it is thought that the mere recitation of the text will confer worldly benefits and pave the way to liberation from birth and rebirth. Artfully blending meditative, breath-focused yoga with the three yogas of action, god-devotion, and transcendental knowledge, the text lays out an integral path to spiritual realization.

This class will selectively look at this timeless text and give students deeper insight into the secrets of the Gita.

*This course is also available for one unit of academic credit for CIIS students
