The Bhagavad Gita is the most beloved scripture of India, a scripture of scriptures. It is the Hindu''s Holy Testament, or Bible, the book that all masters depend upon as a supreme source of scriptural authority. It is through his intuitive understanding of this Scripture that Patanjali''s Yoga Sutras and Eightfold Path of Raja Yoga were gleaned. Bhagavad Gita means "Song of the Spirit," the divine communion of truth-realization between man and his Creator, which should be sung unceasingly. In this introductory workshop of fathomless truth, we will peer briefly into a timeless window that shows the path of our souls returning Home into Oneness with Spirit.
