Group discussion led by Pravrajika Sridharaprana, a senior nun of Sri Sarada Math of the Ramakrishna Order.

Study of Chapter 17 Commences: 

Three Kinds of Faith:
Verses 1 – 3

Discussion Themes: 

  • LONG AGO, the sages of the East had already made a deep psychological study of the human mind, aided by the unveiling, focused gaze of meditation. The subtlest origins of thoughts, feelings, and tendencies were revealed.
  • THE GITA recognises the variety of the human condition: the innate disposition of each evolving human being; the various types of minds shaped by past experiences and actions; and the impact of life in general on each. However much we’ve been moulded or restricted by these, we can always change.
  • A KEY WORD in the rich and deeply meaningful language of Sanskrit is Shraddha. A word with no direct English translation but containing so much meaning. Shraddha’s represents deep heart-centred faith, trust and confidence, and so much more.

Bhagavad Gita:

We’re exploring a spiritual classic that’s enriched cultures throughout Asia over the centuries and inspired leading figures in modern times from Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Aldous Huxley to astronaut Sunita Williams who took a copy of the Bhagavad Gita to the international space station.

We’re dipping into Swami Ranganathananda’s 3 volume commentary: Universal Message of the Bhagavad Gita. The late President of the Ramakrishna Order, the Swami was a world thinker and cultural ambassador for India, sponsored by the Government to travel to over 50 countries around the world giving lectures.
