Programme Objectives

The study of any scripture, however sacred, would prove futile if it cannot be relevant to today's human needs. That, which apart from being true to its own epoch, also holds within it the message for future humanity must be an ideal treatise, which can deliver modern man from his present state of spiritual bankruptcy. The aim of studying the Bhagawad Gita is to unravel the message always verifiable by experience it contains, the truth that is valid for all ages, and all mankind.
