The Bhagavad Gītā is a dynamic dialogue between Arjuna (a noble warrior) and Krishna (the
embodiment of awakened consciousness). Faced with an imminent battle against his own
family, Arjuna is overwhelmed by doubt, fear, and confusion. Krishna offers Yoga as the path
toward clarity, courage, devotion, and self-realization.
Across 700 verses, Krishna explains why action is unavoidable, how wisdom dissolves
ignorance, why devotion is the heart of Yoga, and how meditation turns the mind from an
enemy to an ally. The Gītā teaches lived philosophy, or “skill in action” (BG 2.50). In this
workshop, we’ll explore the big ideas and themes presented in the text.
