Course Introduction
His Holiness Swami Chinmayananda, the founder of Chinmaya Mission, initiated a unique method to study Vedanta through easy Vedanta lessons. The Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF) already offers Foundation and Advanced Courses in both Vedanta and Sanskrit for home study through post as well as e-mail (online). Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda was indeed the Gita Acharya of modern times. His commentary on the Bhagavad-gita, the 'Holy Gita', is acclaimed as a philosophical masterpiece and a manual on spiritual life. His lectures which he termed as Gita Jnana Yagnas, meaning transformation through the fire of knowledge rather than the age-old Vedic practice of purification through a ritualistic havan presided over by a priest, have transformed an entire generation. CIF is blessed and privileged to now offer the Bhagavadgita Course to students of Vedanta, spiritual seekers, and all who wish to live a life of quality and perfection. You may choose either the postal or e-mail (online) mode to study the Bhagavad-gita Course. The study material for both is the same regardless of the method by which you receive the lesson. There is no need to change your faith, religion, or spiritual master to study this course.
Course Objective
The primary aim of the Bhagavad-gita Course is to make the glorious 'Gita Way of Life' accessible to anyone who yearns for it, or is just curious to know more in a convenient yet effective manner. It provides a holistic, insightful coverage of the entire text in a lucid and simple style. It is a practical manual to live a transformed life of goodness and greatness, and provides inputs in the modern context for continuous improvement. This Bhagavad-gita Course is indeed the proverbial 'philosopher's stone' transforming our lives from being reactive to become effective.

Educational Qualifications
Course Rewards
This Course aims to harmoniously blend the subject matter of the Bhagavad-gita, with the subjective disciplines of spirituality. Thus besides a thematic and textual study, it encourages contemplation. The two go hand in hand and will enable you to understand, internalise, and actually live the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. The course thus effectively enables you, in a most endearing way, to actualise your immense potential, and to tap into your inner innate strength. The true reward for diligent study is the transformation of the student's life from some sort of an obligation to an exuberant celebration.
