Deep study of the
"Bhagavad Gita"
"When the veil of illusion is parted and the eyes are allowed to see the truth, we realize that the eyes are not strong enough to resist its presence."
Mahābhārata (Ādiparva)
This course, presented by the Premadham Premaculture Virtual School, is dedicated to the in-depth study of the Bhagavadgītā, a sacred text considered one of the most important in the world.
The Bhagavad-Gita is a part of the fifth book of the Vedas, the Mahābhārata (the oldest epic of humanity), an exclusive corner within the great Temple of Vedic philosophy. The title could be translated as "Bhagavan's song" (He who possesses all opulences). For learned people, the Bhagavad-Gita contains the complete knowledge of Hindu wisdom and is considered as the perfect theistic science. Its objective as a sacred text is to be a beacon lit in the midst of the darkness of material existence, a conjunction of words to restore knowledge of the true purpose of life when human beings forget it. Actually, Bhagavadgītā is a timeless and universal text. A revealed song, which condenses in Sanskrit verses, the fullness of the most valuable transcendental knowledge to which the human being has been able to have access.

In the Skandapurāṇa, Śrīla Vyāsadeva says:
“Memorize and sweetly chant this Bhagavadgītā. What need is there to elaborate other scriptures? She has directly descended from the lotus mouth of Lord Padmanābha."
The Bhagavadgītā contains the essence of all literatures. Therefore, this verse presents the Bhagavadgītā as a sacred text that should be thoroughly studied. However, for For honest seekers, it is not easy to study the original texts without a guide that can accompany them and resolve their concerns. That is why Premadham Premacultura has created this course to read and study this great work, accepting itself as an instrument of knowledge (Pramāṇa) and making its study a sadhana (spiritual practice).
