Bhagavad-Gita As It Is

We will study chapters 7 to 18.
Fridays
Nectar of Devotion
A summary study of Bhakti-Rasamrta-Sindhu, by Srila Rupa Goswami, a direct disciple of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The subject matter is love of God, the love that every living being is seeking, knowingly or unknowingly.
We will study chapters 6 to 14.
Nectar of Instruction
Across five centuries and half the globe comes this compact guidebook of essential spiritual teachings. How to choose a guru, how to practice yoga, even where to live — you'll find it all in this invaluable work originally written in Sanskrit by Srila Rupa Gosvami, the greatest spiritual genius of medieval India.
We will study the whole text (11 verses).
