SUMMARY:Gita Chanting Class
DESCRIPTION:Chant, Learn & Live Gita is the powerful instruction given by our Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinamayananda in order to enable us to live a noble and inspired life. Chanting of the Gita increases one’s curiosity to know the meaning and this leads to deeper study that in turn can help lead to transform oneself. The Lord dwells at all times where the Gita is read, heard, taught and contemplated upon. In this class, attendees will learn how to chant the verses of the Bhagavad Gita.\n“To adore an ideal with reverence and devotion, and to sing His glories, at all times continuously, is the silent act of a mind that has been fully opened to appreciate the ideal that one has learnt to glorify.”\nSwami Chinmayananda\n

SUMMARY:Friday Class: Prashnopanishad
DESCRIPTION:Beginning October 31, 2025, this class covers the Prashnopanishad: Six Disciples. Six Questions. One Truth.\nAbout Prashnopanishad\nPrashnopanishad, rooted in the Atharva Veda, is a unique Upanishadic text built around six fundamental questions posed by sincere seekers to the sage Pippalada. Prashna means “question,” and this text is a profound dialogue where the queries of the students reflect the timeless concerns of all spiritual aspirants including questions on creation, life, prana (vital energy), meditation, and the ultimate purpose of existence.\nThrough these exchanges, the Rishi’s answers become the compassionate voice of scripture, gently guiding the seeker from confusion to clarity, from darkness to light. The text reminds us that spiritual knowledge is not merely taught but revealed to those who approach with faith, discipline, and a deep longing to know.\nPlease note that registration is required for this class. For inquiries about registration, please email info@chinmayavancouver.org ( mailto:info@chinmayavancouver.org ).\n
