The last class in the series will be held on January 26, 2020. We are offering Sunday Faith Formations class on the Bhagavad Gita facilitated by Rev. Cynthia Stewart, one of our community affiliated ministers.
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the great sacred texts of the Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) and of the world, and yet it is only 18 chapters (700 verses) long. It is the text that inspired Gandhi in his quest for justice in India. In this 4-part series, we will look at the Gita in relation to violence and non-violence, the paths of yoga, and knowledge of the divine within. I will provide copies of specific passages we will be reading; any translations you have are welcome also. In book form I recommend the Easwaran translation, and online there is a good version by Koti & Hari at newbhagavadgita.blogspot.com.
Classes are from 9:30 - 10:30 AM in the RE Building main room.
All are welcome!
Facilitator: Rev. Cynthia Stewart
