The  study  of  any  scripture,  however  sacred,  would  prove  futile  if  it  cannot  be  relevant  to  today's  human  needs.  That,  which  apart  from  being  true  to  its  own  epoch,  also  holds  within  it  the message for  future  humanity  must  be  an  ideal  treatise,  which  can  deliver  modern  man  from  his  present  state  of  spiritual  bankruptcy.  

 

The  aim  of  studying  the  Bhagawad  Gita  is  to  unravel  the  message  always  verifiable  by  experience  it  contains,  the  truth  that  is  valid  for  all  ages,  and  all  mankind.  Sri  Aurobindo's  vision  further  clarifies  the  spirit  of  the  Gita's  teaching,  which  was  missed  by  earlier  thinkers  due  to  their  keenness  in  finding  in  the  Gita  sufficient  material  to  support  their  own  phiosophical  thesis.  

 

We  propose  to  approach  this  epic  composition  with  an  attitude  of  humility  and  not  one  of  judgement.  We  hope  to  seek  from  it  its  essential  and  living  message,  and  not  delve  into  a  mere  academic  scrutiny  of  terms.  The  Bhagawad  Gita  is  not  a  record-book  of  historical  events  and  therefore,  we  look  at  it  not  from  the  eye  of  a  historian,  but  with  the  openness  of  a  seeker.
 

The Programme is being offered in collaboration with the  International Centre for Integral Studies (ICIS). It has two integrated courses (theory-cum-practical) and one practical (research practicum) course, with 16 credit points.
 

The programme coordinator is Ameeta Mehra.
