The Principles & Practical Application Of The Bhagavad Gita

A study group led by Balabhadra Bhattacarya Dasa, former president of the Atlanta Hare Krishna temple, student and teacher of the Bhagavad Gita for over 35 years. Every 2nd and 4th Monday evening from 6.30 till 8.00 pm. Refreshments will be served during class. Everyone's welcome - there's no charge, but donations are always welcome. Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment. The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life? Where is he going after death? In response, Krishna brings His friend from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment, and each one of us is invited to walk the same path.Read the book online
