Study Group Details
Each week, we will be covering two chapters of the Bhagavad Gita. During our Friday Study Group, Engel will read over two chapters, sharing commentary on each verse — highlighting the meanings, the moral intentions that are being called into to action and the implications of their use.
Throughout the week, Friday - Thursday, you will then study and observe (on your own), each verse of the two current chapters, isolating key virtue-words, identifying their meaning, uncovering the intention in the verse and observing your personal interpretation. We will then meet every Friday to discuss your studies & observances, followed by commentary of the next chapters.
