SOUNDING OF THE CONCH SHELLS

Gita's Wide Appeal
 - deals with human problems  in human way
- adishankara (8th AD) wrote a commentary
 - people know more about it  than what it is about
 - Bhagavan Sri Krishna also
  says in the Gita (7.3) “Among thousands of men , one by chance aspires for
  perfection; even among those successful aspirants only one by chance knows    
  Me in essence.”

We have started a Learn and Share Series on Hindu Scriptures organized by USC Hindu Student Organization. This is a weekly meeting (occurring every tuesday) to discuss and understand the in-depth meaning of various Hindu Scriptures.

We will be beginning this series with Srimad Bhagavat Gita. We will be reading through each verse from each of the chapters  and understand its meaning and discuss on how it can apply to our day to day
life. 

The series will be handled by Swami Atmavidyananda, Religious Director at USC Office of Religious Life and Bharathwaj Nandakumar, Director of  Hindu Student Life.

Dates: Every Tuesday
Time: 7:30 - 8:30 pm
Location: Fishbowl Chapel
