Bhagavad-gita Study

Bhagavad-gita study posterLord Krishna’s instructions for mankind were spoken on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra thousands of years ago in the form of the Bhagavad-gita, "The Song of God".

This is a wonderful opportunity to study this jewel of Vedic sacred texts - in the form of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is.

Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better.

Dr. Elwin H. Powell, a professor of sociology at the State University of New York, wrote:

"If truth is what works, as Pierce and the pragmatists insist, there must be a kind of truth in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, since those who follow its teachings display a joyous serenity usually missing in the bleak and strident lives of contemporary people."

Such nowledge is the fruit of selfless devotional action (karma-yoga).
