Bhagavad Gita:
Join our exploration of a spiritual classic that’s enriched cultures throughout Asia over the centuries and inspired leading figures in modern times from Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, and Aldous Huxley to astronaut Sunita Williams who took a copy of the Bhagavad Gita to the international space station.

The late President of the Ramakrishna Order, the Swami, was a world thinker and cultural ambassador for India, sponsored by the Government to travel to over 50 countries around the world, giving lectures.
