Bhagavad Gita for Modern Life

Krishna Kripa Das·28 May 2026
Bhagavad Gita for Modern Life

Spoken over five thousand years ago on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Bhagavad Gita remains remarkably relevant to the challenges we face today — stress, uncertainty, and the search for purpose.

At its heart, the Gita is a conversation between Lord Krishna and His devotee Arjuna, who finds himself paralyzed by doubt at a critical moment of decision. Krishna's guidance goes far beyond the immediate crisis, offering timeless principles: act without attachment to results, understand the difference between the eternal soul and the temporary body, and cultivate equanimity in both success and failure.

Our weekly Gita study circles at ISKCON Guntur explore these teachings verse by verse, connecting ancient wisdom to everyday situations — career decisions, relationships, and the pursuit of inner peace.

All are welcome to join, regardless of background or prior knowledge of the scripture.
