Join us for an exploration of India’s most popular spiritual text!
These videos were recorded live during one of our weekly classes that ran throughout 2025. They present the essential themes of the Bhagavad Gita through the lens of Theosophical thought. They do not attempt to encompass the entirety of the Gita’s profound teachings, but rather offer a thematic exploration that highlights key ideas. Insights from The Secret Doctrine have also been thoughtfully integrated, providing students of Theosophy with a more holistic perspective and a deeper appreciation of the Gita’s enduring wisdom.
Introductory Video
It is traditional in India to prepare the mind and heart before receiving any teaching on the Bhagavad Gita. This is done in the form of a Chant or Mantram sung before instruction (“Dhyanam”). The Gita Dhyanam is a traditional invocation recited before the Bhagavad Gita, attuning the mind and heart to its deeper spiritual purpose. It reminds us that the Gita is not only a philosophical text, but a living teaching meant to awaken clarity, devotion, and self-knowledge. We have provided this chant as performed by a fellow student.
