Bhagavad Gita Study Circle Preview

Chant with Precision. Understand with Clarity. Live with Purpose.

A One-of-a-Kind Journey into the Gita
The Bharat Yoga Vidya Kendra (BYK) presents a unique Bhagavad Gita Study Circle, designed not just to read the Gita, but to experience it. Unlike standard study groups that focus solely on philosophy, this course places equal emphasis on the traditional art of Chanting (Ucharana) and the practical application of Wisdom (Jnana).

We dive deep into one chapter every 3 months. This paced approach gives us sufficient time to:

Learn to Chant:
Master the correct pronunciation and meter of selected important verses.

Understand the Meaning:
Explore commentaries to grasp the subtle truths of the verses.

Apply to Life:
Discuss how Krishna’s teachings can be incorporated into your everyday life to find balance and peace.

“The aim of chanting is not to chant, but to bring about silence. One need not mistake the technique to be the goal. If the goal is felt, stop all chanting and subside into it. In quietness, enjoy to the best of your capacity.”
– Sri M

Upcoming Module: Apr – Jun 2026

Focus: Chapter 6 – Dhyana Yoga  (Yoga through Meditation and Contemplation)

In this quarter, we explore Dhyana Yoga, the path of meditation and inner mastery. In Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna guides Arjuna on how to discipline the mind, cultivate inner balance, and prepare oneself for deep meditation that leads to spiritual clarity and Self-knowledge.

What you will learn:
You will learn to chant and understand key verses from Chapter 6 that explain the practice of meditation, the discipline required to purify and steady the mind, and the vision of Self-knowledge that leads to oneness with the divine.

Some verses that will be covered in this session:

Verse 6.5:

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मन: ॥

uddhared-ātmanātmānaṃ nātmānam-avasādayet
ātmaiva hy-ātmano bandhur- ātmaiva ripur-ātmana:

Meaning:

“Elevate yourself by your own intrinsic power. One’s own self alone is one’s friend, and equally one’s enemy.”
