GITA CLASSES via TELEPHONE starting this sunday

[Guest guest]

Dear bhagavatas,

 

With pleasure, I would like to announce that we are starting a

bhagawadgita class every sunday via phone (if we miss it due to

unavoidable circumstances- it will be re-scheduled). Couple of

bhagavatas have requested to listen to this lecture sundays from

9AM-10AM pacific std. time(starting this sunday). They will call me via

an 800number and get into the conference. Details of actual numbers will

be posted by thursday night to all of the folks who email me with their

commitment to listen and to contribute for the cost of this session.

 

If you are interested please email me at kkalale1 and copy to

kkalale. The cost of each class for each calling number is

$15 (roughly) for domestic US folks (international rates are higher);

this is the money required to set up the conference call for one calling

line for one hour duration. If you have a speaker phone at your end,

more folks can assemble and listen to this lecture; The cost can be

shared by the number of folks listening.

 

subject: the plan is to cover Ramanuja bhasya details with comparitive

views of advaita and dvaita on certain sections of Srimad Bhagavadgita.

Bhagavadgita is the essence of upanishads and a wonderful present to

this universe delivered personally by our dear lord SRI KRISHNA. As our

Nammalvar states... that "this is the path to the Lord as told by our

Kannan"; 15 minutes at the end of the hour will be devoted to question

and answers; preferably at the end of the lecture.

 

Gita does not need introduction.

 

"CHAPTER OF GITA A DAY KEEPS SORROWS AWAY" - this is a very true

statement only realizable by experience; All of us who are embodied go

through trials and tribulations. I usually read a chapter when ever I

feel like; To my surprise everytime I get to know a different strain or

facet of the meaning of the verses with deep meanings so useful in daily

life. Bhagavadgita is like a ocean of information so sweetly spoken by

our Lord Krishna.

 

The pace of the lectures, standard and level will be adjusted to suit

the audience who sign up. This pace can be adjusted as we progress into

the chapters.

 

we can either have a short course of 20 hours, to cover 18 chapters of

Gita OR go over Ramanuja Bhasya verse by verse and dwell on some

controversial ones deeply and speed up on some verses with less

controversy. Please provide inputs as to how this should be handled.

Q&A session needs to be controlled with less cross talk.

 

Hope to receive your inputs soon. I do realize that this is expensive

for the participants. It depends on how people can pool together and

have a speaker phone at one facility and share the costs. Luckily by

God's grace some folks have come forward to pioneer this concept of

"telephone university" to materialize.

PLEASE NOTE: I DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW RAMANUJA BHASYA OR GITA VERY WELL;

SOME EMINENT ACHARYAS HAVE TAUGHT ME LONG TIME BACK. ADIYEN IS

DELIGHTED THAT OUR ACHARYAS AND LORD SRIMANNARAYANA HAVE BLESSED THIS

PROGRAM TO TAKE OFF FROM THIS SUNDAY; I AM SURE THAT THEY WILL GUIDE US

AS WE MOVE FURTHER
