Dharma 8-9 - Bhagavad Gita

2016-2017

Class Information -

This class covers: The class focusses on Moksha out of the four Purusharthas. Should start with situating the Gita in the Mahabharata and explaining its popularity in the world. Teaching the Gita in the sequence of the verses can be confusing. Therefore a thematic approach is preferable. The student should become sufficient familiar with the text of the Gita so that they are comfortable using it as a guide for the rest of their lives. Not a chapter by chapter study but a thematic study of key concepts – Karmayoga, Rajayoga, Bhaktiyoga, Jnanayoga, Gunas etc. Key verses of the Gita should be recited and memorized during this year if possible. Note: Each class should start with the recitation of Geeta Dhyanam

Ages: 13+ / Grade: 8+
