What can an ancient Indian text teach us about finding peace, mastering our desires, and living a meaningful life in a chaotic world? This Sunday, join us for a philosophical exploration of the Bhagavad Gita, one of the great classics of world philosophy. Through its provocative teachings on the immortal self, the nature of consciousness, self-discipline, devotion, and the art of acting without attachment to results, we will examine questions that remain deeply relevant today: How can we do our best without becoming consumed by success or failure? Can we overcome our desires without losing our zest for life? Is wisdom found through knowledge, meditation, service, or surrender? And what does it mean to live well when we cannot control the outcomes of our actions? Whether you are familiar with Eastern philosophy or encountering these ideas for the first time, come share your perspectives, challenge your assumptions, and discover what this ancient wisdom might offer the modern world.
