#227. The Bhagavad Gita


The Bhagavad Gita (3 Hours): The search for higher truth must be conducted in the midst of the forces of life, with all its demands and seductions. So teaches The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient text which has been called the quintessence of the spirituality of India. In it, the great warrior Arjuna contemplates the meaning of life, just moments before entering the battlefield. Why do I exist, why should I fight against my loved ones, and where shall I go after I die, he asks himself in search for knowledge of the Absolute.
