For the past several months, Swami Nirmalananda has been recording talks on the Bhagavad Gita which we have shared on YouTube. The Bhagavad Gita is the most popular of the scriptures of Hinduism. In this series of talks on India’s spiritual classic, Swami Nirmalananda illumines its importance for all spiritual seekers, and for yogis in particular.
Swamiji had now finished the series, with over 90 talks, commenting on the entire Gita! We are working on editing and uploading talks to Youtube, with 33 talks currently published.
Gita Talks Website
In order to create a more focused environment for watching the videos and studying the Gita, we have created a distraction-free dedicated website for the talks, appropriately called Gita Talks, which you can visit at GitaTalks.ocoy.org.
On this new site we have worked to create an ideal study guide for the Gita, with individual pages for each talk with summaries of the content in the talk and with sharing the Gita verses covered. We have also created an audio podcast of Gita Talks and share the podcast episode on each page.
In these talks Swami Nirmalananda gives explanations of Sri Krishna’s teachings in the Gita which will be of practical value both to beginners and also to experienced students in spiritual life. Most talks are about 20 minutes long, though some are longer.
The site also has a Study Guide page where you can reference the various chapters of the Bhagavad Gita and find talks pertaining to those chapters to aid in your studies.
In the coming months we will work on completing the remaining talks, making the Gita Talks site the ideal place to learn about and study the immortal spiritual dialog between Sri Krishna and the yogi-warrior Arjuna.
