CCPX 4199 Issues: Spiritual Development in Hinduism
Thursdays, 11-12:40 pm with Pandit Srivastava
Course Description: The Bhagavad Gita is the most commented on spiritual text of India. It is a spiritual response to the human afflictions of anxiety, stress, depression, and uncertainty. What makes the Gita relevant and practical is that it takes place on a battlefield where the warrior Arjuna is going to be faced with the most difficult decisions he has ever encountered. Arjuna, the student of Krishna, arrives at the biggest crossroads of his life and finds himself in a dilemma he is unable to resolve with his own mental and intellectual faculties. We will witness and be enriched by the Gita’s three systems of yoga -- karma (work), bhakti (devotion), and jnana (knowledge), and how they enable Arjuna to achieve clarity of mind, overcome his obstacles, and uplift his consciousness.
