Bhagavad Gītā

Neema Majmudar and Surya Tahora are leading a residential Vedanta course in Bad Meinberg. This course will be an extraor-dinary and inspiring opportunity to learn and practice the fundamental principles and methods of Vedānta with two great teachers. If you are interested in taking your spiritual questions further and would like to understand your true nature, the nature of the mind and of the world, this seminar will be of great value. Freedom and lasting happiness are the result of this knowledge. The course is not merely an academic or intellectual exercise. It is a dynamic traditional teaching that engages the participants in such a way that it produces insight into the nature of reality.

Bhagavad Gita for Daily LifeThe Gita unfolds the entire vision of Vedanta in a profound manner. Lord Krishna reveals to us through Arjuna the ultimate reality as well as the me-ans to prepare oneself for the knowledge through various practices & shifts in attitude. The predicament of Arjuna is faced by each of us in various walks of our lives and hence, this teaching can give us insight into how to live our life more objectively, with responsibility and yet with freedom.

The TeachersNeema Majmudar & Surya Tahora have studied with Swāmi DayānandaSaraswatī, renowned scholar of Vedānta. Both have gone through intensivecourses of Vedānta studying texts such as the Upanishads, and manyother scriptures in great depth with the commentaries of Śankara, and thePānini system of Sanskrit grammar. They have been teaching Vedānta inIndia and abroad for several years. Their ability to teach authentic Vedāntain a lively, humorous and empathetic way is exceptional. The unfoldmentof the wisdom of the Gītā is combined with story telling, traditionalchanting and guided meditations.
