Philosophy to Practice
A comprehensive study of the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita. While the Sutras provide the map of the mind, the Gita provides the manual for living in the world.
This course offers a comprehensive study of the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita. While the Sutras provide the "map" of the mind, the Gita provides the "manual" for living in the world. We explore how to maintain inner peace while fulfilling our duties in the midst of life’s chaos.
Throughout the course we move from the text to the "Battlefield of Life," applying the Gita’s wisdom to modern existence through four key pillars — mastery of action, psychological self-audit, values-based decision making, and cultivating inner stability.
From the philosophical context, through all 18 chapters, to living application in daily life.
Practising the art of doing your best in every task while letting go of the anxiety over the final outcome.
Using the framework of the Gunas to recognise dullness, agitation or clarity in the mind, and learning how to shift back to balance.
Navigating personal and professional crossroads by prioritising duty and purpose over short-term pleasure or fear.
Developing Samatvam — evenness of mind — so that inner peace is not disrupted by the external ups and downs of life.
