Yoga teachers and enthusiasts alike are naturally drawn to the teachings of The Bhagavad Gita; and yet at times it may be difficult for readers to see how its lessons can be applied to today’s modern landscape. In this series, Hari-kirtana das will offer a deeper understanding of what the Bhagavad Gita really is and how it can help us navigate our way through whatever we face today. Part 1 of the series will cover the basics and take some first steps toward a deeper understanding of the Gita’s message.

Part 2 of our series will look at how the Gita presents us with a new set of underlying assumptions about the nature of reality.
