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
