| Bhagavad Gita Classes
| |
The Self Discovery Center offers Bhagavad Gita
classes, a 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. Bhagavad Gita is the 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.
