SUMMARY:Bhagavad Gita for Modern Minds
DESCRIPTION:Bhagavad Gita for Modern Minds \nA 2 Day Retreat on the Timeless Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita \nThe Bhagavad Gita is one of the world’s most profound guides to living a meaningful\, balanced\, and purposeful life. Yet many people find its teachings difficult to approach because of unfamiliar language\, philosophical depth\, or cultural context. This retreat is designed to make the wisdom of the Gita simple\, practical\, and relevant to contemporary life. \nDrawing upon a carefully selected set of verses from the Bhagavad Gita\, we will explore the essential teachings of Vedanta in a clear and accessible manner. Whether you are completely new to the Gita or have studied it before\, the retreat offers a structured journey into its central insights\, combining philosophical inquiry with practical reflection and discussion. \nTogether\, we will examine some of life’s most fundamental questions: \nThe Details of the Retreat are as follows: \n\nWhat is the true goal of human life?\nWhy do we experience stress\, dissatisfaction\, fear\, and inner conflict?\nWhat are the obstacles that prevent us from living with clarity and fulfilment?\nHow can we overcome these obstacles through wisdom\, self-awareness\, and disciplined action?\nWho am I beyond my roles\, thoughts\, and emotions?\nWhat does the Gita mean by God\, the Divine\, or the Ultimate Reality?\nHow can spirituality become a living experience rather than merely a belief?\n\nThe retreat will introduce participants to the practical disciplines of Karma Yoga—the art of acting effectively without becoming burdened by anxiety and attachment—and Dhyana Yoga\, the path of cultivating attention\, inner stillness\, and self-understanding through meditation. \nRather than treating the Gita as a religious text alone\, we will approach it as a universal guide to understanding the human mind\, navigating life’s challenges\, and discovering deeper meaning and purpose. The sessions will include presentations\, guided reflections\, discussions\, and opportunities for personal inquiry\, making the teachings both engaging and applicable to daily life. \nThe retreat is based on the recently published book Essence of the Bhagavad Gita for Modern Minds\, by the retreat facilitator\, Sri Gokul Muthu ji\, which presents the Gita’s teachings in a manner that speaks directly to the questions and concerns of modern seekers. \nWhether you are looking for intellectual clarity\, practical guidance\, spiritual depth\, or simply a fresh perspective on life\, Bhagavad Gita for Modern Minds offers an invitation to engage with one of humanity’s greatest wisdom traditions in a thoughtful\, contemporary\, and transformative way. \n*Suitable age group 18 years and above* Open for all\, no prior knowledge is required. \nDate and timings: Starts on the 24th July (Friday) at 5:00 PM and concludes on 26th July (Sunday) 2026 at 4:30 PM. \nVenue: Indica Gurukulam @ Ritambhara\, No. 69\, BMTC Layout\, Adjacent to Kammasandra Village\, Lakshmipura-Hobli. \nThe Retreat Place\, located just on the outskirts of Bangalore city\, is a small beautiful space dedicated to Yoga and spiritual studies and practices in a simple and clean environment adjacent to a farm of its own. \nWorkshop Contribution: Rs 5\,250/- For Adults and For Students who are perusing any degree or higher education Rs. 3150/- The fees are inclusive of boarding\, lodging and teaching plus resource materials. \nAccommodation: Shared accommodation will be provided \nFood: Simple sāttvik food with fresh-grown vegetables from the farm. \nReaching the Venue: The venue is about 22 km from Majestic Bus Stand and is accessible through Magadi Road and Tumkur Road\, preferably through your own vehicles.
