The Integral Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world’s most profound spiritual texts, offering timeless wisdom for navigating personal and collective challenges. Set within the epic Mahabharata, the Gita addresses a question that remains deeply relevant today: “What is the right thing to do here and now?” Faced with uncertainty, conflict, and rapid change, its teachings provide practical guidance for living with purpose, clarity, and integrity.

In this illuminating program, we will explore the Gita as a synthesis of the great yogic traditions of India, integrating the paths of Knowledge (Jnana Yoga), Selfless Action (Karma Yoga), and Devotion (Bhakti Yoga) into a unified approach to spiritual life. Drawing on the insights of the modern yogi and philosopher Sri Aurobindo, we will examine how the Gita presents a life-affirming vision of dharma—not as an abstract philosophy, but as a living force that sustains harmony within ourselves, society, and the world.

At a time when humanity faces profound social, environmental, and spiritual challenges, the Bhagavad Gita offers both a clear-eyed understanding of our global condition and a path forward. Participants will gain practical tools for applying its wisdom to daily life, deepen their understanding of dharma as that which “holds the world together” (loka-samgraha), and discover how the integration of knowledge, action, and love can become a powerful response to the challenges of our time.
