About the event
The Bhagavad-gītā (Gītā Upanisad) is one of the foremost Sanskrit textbooks, comprising the essential philosophical topics and spiritual techniques of Vedic thoughts and culture. It elaborates on the timeless intriguing subject matters of humankind - eg. mind-control, meditation, yoga, self-realization (𝑎̄𝑡𝑚𝑎̄ 𝑗𝑛̃𝑎̄𝑛𝑎), activities (𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎), nature (𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑟̣𝑡𝑖), time (𝑘𝑎̄𝑙𝑎) and the Supreme Absolute Truth (𝑖̄𝑠́𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑎) - and its practical applications in one’s life which are especially relevant even more in today’s modern times.
The Bhagavad Gita served as a referential philosophical text book not only in India but throughout the world for centuries explaining men's occupational duties for progress, individual liberation and the ultimate goal of life.
