Who Am I?—Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta View (Zoom)
Fall (2-3 hours) | This course is completed
If you have ever wondered…What is the nature of reality? Who am I? Why am I here? How do I live my best life?…then this course is for you.
The Bhagavad Gita is the best known and most influential of Hindu scriptures. It is one of the three starting points for the Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy. Its origin dates to the second century BCE. The Bhagavad Gita contains philosophical understanding and describes clear-cut techniques for implementing its spiritual precepts for everyday life. There are 18 chapters in Bhagavad Gita. This course focuses on fundamental truth from Veda, especially the end of Veda, which is called Upanishad.
Vedanta concerns itself with meditation, philosophy, consciousness, and ontological knowledge—that which encapsulates such things as existence, being, becoming, and reality.
This course will combine lecture with class discussion.
