Bhagavad Gita 10 week Course

For the Seekers of Truth

"The purpose of this commentary is to restore the fundamental truths of the Bhagavad Gita and thus restore the significance of its teaching. If this teaching is followed, effectiveness in life will be achieved, men will be fulfilled on all levels, and the historical need of the age will be fulfilled also.” - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Knowledge is different in different states of Consciousness and every year we are a completely new individual when it comes to our perception of life.

This 10-lesson course is designed to give the course participants the opportunity to come together with like-minded people and dive deep in the knowledge of the Self.

Maharishi’s commentary of the Bhagavad Gita provides practical knowledge and insights into the deep questions of life that puzzle the mind. It takes the reader from their level of Consciousness to a higher, richer level. And coming together and discussing those insights from the daily reading will allow our perception to experience finer and more delicate values of Consciousness.

"Studying Maharishi's Bhagavad Gita is studying the book of life. Every important struggle I've faced in life is answered through Arjuna's conversation with Lord Krishna and Maharishi's insights pinpoint the wisdom. Learning this course with Mustafa enabled me to learn with an experienced lighthouse, whilst sharing insights and realisations with a very safe, kind and friendly group of seekers. My mind was continually blown each week, and my TM practice deepened as a result. I apply my learning to my daily life. There is so much to learn in Maharishi's Bhagavad Gita commentary that one could study it every day for the rest of their lives. That is why the group study and support is so necessary." Samantha R.

“Maharishi’s commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita has changed how I live my life. Maharishi personally guides you through every verse. I often feel he’s only speaking to me. It is intimate and profound. What is even more amazing, is sharing the Gita with a group, and discussing Maharishi’s commentary together. It’s a guided gift. Enjoy.” Jacinta P.
