1. Bhagwad Gita Lesson Course :

Gita needs no introduction. In brief we can say that whoever has not read Srimad Bhagwad Gita has missed something great in life. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand life fully & live it thoroughly. It is the essence of entire Vedic vision, and transcends all sectarian thoughts. It reveals the timeless truths of life, and also reveals a way to live a full & holistic life, wherein we give justice to not only what is worldly but also that which is beyond.

2. Tattva Bodha Lesson Course :

Tattva Bodha is a small introductory text book of Vedanta philosophy. It introduces to us the fundamentals of the philosophy of Vedanta. The title means: ‘Knowledge of Truth’. The text is supposed to be written by Sri Adi Sankara, and is indeed a stepping stone to enter the divine portals of Vedanta.
