Repeats at Honest Weight Food Co-op: Conference Room, Albany

Bhagavad Gita and Sanskrit Study Group with Akosua

The Bhagavad Gita is a spiritual dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna that explores duty, righteousness, and the path to liberation. It teaches that one should act according to dharma without attachment to results and offers four paths to self-realization: karma (action), jñāna (knowledge), bhakti (devotion), and dhyāna (meditation). In essence, the Gita teaches how to live a life of integrity, devotion, and wisdom, transforming everyday actions into a path toward spiritual freedom. We will explore this philosophy as it is revealed in Chapter 4 of this ancient, sacred text.
