Spreading the message of Bhagavad Geeta, thereby guiding many in the path of self unfoldment, was a mission very dear to Swami Chinmayananda. To celebrate pujya GuruDev’s Birth Centenary Movement, we request every one to advance in their Bhagavad Geeta Study using the Chinmaya Learning Scheme: CHANT — STUDY— KNOW — LIVE Bhagavad Geeta.

Purushottama Yoga, a chapter ideal for chanting, and reflecting upon, is the chapter chosen for this special year. Chapter 15 is traditionally chanted before taking one’s meals. This is a chapter that must be chanted, memorized and understood by every Geeta student. Let us all take this precious opportunity to chant and learn Chapter 15.
