Description
The Bhagavad Gita or “Song of the Lord” is a dialogue between Shri Krishna, the spiritual master, and Arjuna, the beloved disciple. The Bhagavad Gita is part of the great war epic, Mahabharatha. The warrior Arjuna's situation represents the story of each human being and the spiritual struggle in the battlefield of life. Swamiji will give an overview of the Gita, summarizing its deeper mystical and metaphorical meaning, and sharing insight into how to apply its ancient yet timely message to our lives.
Swami Purnatmananda Giri, a monk in the lineage of Kriya Yoga masters Paramahamsa Hariharananda and Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, was born in India and trained as an industrial engineer. He came to the United States in pursuit of higher education, working for a Fortune 500 Company for 11 years. Swamiji was initiated into the sacred path of Kriya Yoga in 1992 and joined the ashram in 2005 to serve his Guru and humanity at large. Ordained Swami Purnatmananda Giri, his name means "bliss of complete soul consciousness." He currently resides in Kriya Vedanta Gurukulam, Joliet, IL.
