Bhagavad Gita Study Circle

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: Jan – Mar 2026

Focus: Chapter 3 – Karma Yoga (The Yoga of Action)

In this quarter, we explore Karma Yoga, the path of selfless action. Lord Krishna teaches Arjuna—and us—how to live an active life in the world without being bound by stress, anxiety, or the fear of failure.

What you will learn:
You will learn to chant and understand key verses that define the spirit of Karma Yoga.

Some verses that will be covered in this session:

Verse 3.19:
tasmād asaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ karma samācara |
asakto hyācaran karma param āpnoti pūruṣaḥ ||

Meaning: “Therefore, without being attached to the results, always perform your prescribed duty; for by working without attachment, a person attains the Supreme.”

Verse 3.30:
mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṁnyasyādhyātma-cetasā |
nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ ||

Meaning: “Surrendering all actions to Me, with your mind intent on the Self, free from desire and egoism, and free from mental fever (grief), fight (perform your duty)!”
