If the Upanishads are the text books of philosophical principles discussing man, world and God, the Bhagavad Gita is a handbook of instructions as to how every human being can come to live the subtle philosophical principles in the actual work-a-day world. Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the Divine song of the Lord, occurs in the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata. This great handbook of practical living marked a positive revolution in Hinduism and inaugurated a Hindu renaissance for the ages that followed the Puranic era.

The fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga of True Renunciation is essentially a bridge between Karma-Yoga (dealt in Chapter 3 & 4) and the Yoga of Meditation (dealt in Chapter 6).  Gurudev’s commentary will be reviewed and discussed during the class sessions.
