The Bhagavad-gītā, the very essence of all Vedic wisdom, deals with the most fundamental questions of
human existence: “Who am I?” “Who is God?” “What is my purpose?” “Why am I bound to this world?”
“What is true freedom and happiness?” ““How can I fulfill my complete spiritual potential?” In eighteen
chapters, the Bhagavad-gītā addresses these topics, and many more. The Gītā is divided in 3 sections—

1. Karma-yoga (Chapters 1-6)
2. Bhakti-yoga (Chapters 7-12)
3. Jñāna-yoga (Chapters 13-18)

This first module of the Bhagavad-gītā study covers the Karma-yoga section (Chapters 1-6). Our textbook
will be Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda.
This class forms part of the Bhakti Śāstrī course and includes homework assignments, verse recitation
and memorization, as well as closed- and open-book examinations. Completion of previous Bhakti
Śāstrī modules is not required. Students who wish to participate without taking the exams are
also warmly welcome to participate in the classes.
