Workshop details:
As many of you know, India has a very ancient wisdom tradition with a huge pyramid of books. BhagavadGita sits at the top of this pyramid. It has inspired many great philosophers, poets, leaders, and even scientists.
Gita contains teachings of the Upanishads, which are dialogues exploring the reality of the world (Total) and I (the individual). Gita too is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, the great warrior.
Yoga is the main topic in Gita. Most of the 18 chapters of Gita are centred on only one theme: Yoga. Therefore, to know what Yoga truly is, one has to study the Gita. It talks about two life-styles which help one prepare for self-knowledge.
Arjuna’s war, in many ways, is a metaphor for the conflict that lives in every human mind. Lord Krishna’s teaching replaces it with clarity and freedom.
