Bhagavad Gita Ch. 7-12

Bhagavad Gita

Over the next month, our group will continue reading the Bhagavad Gita, exploring Chapters 7 through 12. We recommend Eknath Easwaran’s translation, as it is one of the most approachable and has an interesting introduction for those starting out.

This section transitions us into the heart of the text, focusing on discerning higher reality behind everyday appearances, recognizing the cosmic order in the world around us, and living with unconditional equanimity and grace. These chapters stand completely on their own, so anyone is welcome to jump right in regardless of whether they participated in our earlier discussions.
