Bhagavad-Gita Classes / March to May 2024

Dear friends,

Greetings!

If you have five minutes to spare, I will tell you about my encounter with the Bhagavad-Gita.

I was nineteen when I first read the Gita, in English translation, from cover to cover.

I was quite impressed by it despite my near-complete ignorance of philosophy coupled with the disdainful scepticism that is natural to a college student. I got a chance to read through it again when my uncle Dr. Koti Sreekrishna prepared an independent English translation of the first few chapters. Little did I realize then that I would be co-translating the Gita some years down the road.

Our work, The New Bhagavad-Gita, was published in 2011. Since then, I've had the opportunity to go through the Gita multiple times, always hoping that the Gita will go through me at least once!

You might be wondering who I am.

This is me: Hari Ravikumar.

I am an author/editor who has (co-)written/edited some forty books, primarily related to Indian culture and heritage.

Readers praised The New Bhagavad-Gita for its simple language and accessible content. I've always believed that any new knowledge should help make us a better person. And only if we understand the message can we even try to practice it!

#

Upon the request of a few friends, I will be teaching an online Bhagavad-Gita course in English, spanning March to May 2024, for anyone who is interested. Except for a working knowledge of English, no other pre-requisites are expected.

Starting on the auspicious day of Maha-shivaratri, the hour-long classes will be on zoom, five days a week (on week-days, at 6.30 am IST) with no homework. I will read out the Sanskrit shloka, give the meaning of the words, and explain the import of the verse. I will try to ensure that the basic concepts are clear to everyone.

In this manner, I will go through all seven hundred verses of the text.

What I am not going to do is enforce any views or beliefs; neither am I going to teach Sanskrit nor am I going to discuss technical details related to the Mahabharata. I will refrain from referring to any other treatise (such as Upanishads, Brahma-sutras, commentaries on the Gita, etc.)

I feel that whatever has been expounded in the Gita is meant to be experimented in our life and to be realized by experience rather than by blind faith or excessive intellectualisation.

By the end of the course, you will get an idea of what the Bhagavad-Gita contains—and perhaps seriously begin improving the quality of your life.

However, with this new learning, if you are expecting to win an election, find a girlfriend/boyfriend, get a promotion, or double your net worth, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

While teaching the class, I will be using the book The New Bhagavad-Gita (which you can get in the US on Amazon at this link and in India on Pothi at this link). It is not compulsory to buy the book but if you are one of those people who prefer having a book for ready reference, you may consider getting a copy.

If you are a serious student and have a great deal of extra time, you can get a copy of The Complete Bhagavad-Gita (available in three volumes: Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3) and study it.

I must warn you, this is going to be a really expensive course. It needs your undivided attention for 40+ hours in a span of three months.

In terms of money, however, it is free.

Vikaara nirbharamaaya oru Koodipiriyal koodi... #trichambaramtemple #festival #trichambaramulsavam The annual 14-day festival in the famous Trichambaram Temple is noted for Thidambu Nritham(a sort of dance with the dieties of Krishna & Balrama). The utsavam begins on the 22nd day of Kumbha Masam with the ceremonial flag hoisting (kodiyettam) and comes to end with Koodipirial ritual on 6th day Meena masam (20-03-2023) The main event during the festival revolves around the arrival of Balarama from Mazhoor Temple on the Flag hoisting day of the festival and finally his departure. On the first day, the image of Lord Balarama (elder brother of Bhagavan Krishna) is brought to the temple in a grand procession from nearby Dharmakulam temple. The festivals days are marked by the performance of the religious dance, Thidambu nritham, in front of Pookoth Nada in the temple. On the thirteenth day of annual festival, Pallivetta (holy hunt ceremony) takes place and the next day the ceremonial bath (aarattu) takes place. Finally, the heart touching 'Koodi Piriyal' ceremony (March 20, 2023) happens, which represents the parting💔 of the brothers Lord Krishna and Balarama. Peruvazhiyil Nritham a religious dance takes place during the time of parting of the brothers. Krishna seems reluctant to leave his Brother and at this moment a jar of milk is brought forward and upon seeing the overflowing milk Krishna follows the Gopala and the Mazhoor people escorts Balrama back to his Temple. It's a heart touching scene, everyone cries, even the Nature (there would be a slight drizzle as the nature too cries seeing the parting of the Brothers). . . . #trichambaram #taliparamba #festivalseason #hindu #krishna #balarama #brother #bonding #brotherhood #brotherlove #dance #celebration #customs #rituals #kannur #kannurdiaries #canon #canon6d #canonphotography #canon6dphotos #canon6dphotography #arjunrkrishnaphotography . . . @trichambaramambalam @trichambaram_varthaakal @trichambara_kaaran @trichysaathana @chanjutrichambaram @magic_anil @tricha.m @trichambaram_ups @byju_trichambaram @nikhil_nambiar_ @soorya_suvarnan @rashu_razak @g.p_ikaa @im___sonya_g_h @dhe_moongoddess @dr_nijisha_k (at Trichambaram Sreekrishna Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBBC80PHGe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Janmashtami celebration in SIRD Malaysia (27-Aug-2024)

The entire SIRD building was beautifully adorned to celebrate Krishna's birthday. Little footsteps, were drawn on the floor by the devotees, leading from SIRD’s pouch to Poojya Swamiji’s chair in the Satsang hall, and then to the altar where baby Krishna sat on a wonderfully decorated cradle alongside the photograph of Poojya Swamiji. After lighting of the lamp at the porch, Poojya Swamiji followed the footsteps and took his seat in the Satsang hall. One by one, the devotees performed aarati for him, offering lighted diyas before turning their attention to little Krishna. They offered aarati, placed the diya at the altar, and joyfully swung his cradle, all accompanied by the melodious chanting of "sreekrishna govinda hare murari" by Aravindan ji and Sanjay ji. Afterwards, Ma recited shlokas from the 10th skandha of Srimad Bhagavatam describing Krishna’s birth. The auspicious sounds of the conch and bell resonated the hall as the final shlokas announcing the divine descent were chanted. Ma then narrated the playful antics of little Krishna, as described in the poem "Sreekrishna Karnamrutam." Later, Poojya Swamiji shared a Malayalam poem he had penned and spoke about how Krishna had inspired him from a young age. The day concluded with devotees offering their pranaams and receiving prasadam from Poojya Swamiji, leaving everyone with a profound sense of joy and spiritual fulfillment.

I had the good fortune of collaborating with him on five books.

[With Dr. Sreekrishna at his residence in Mason, OH in 2008 when we were translating the Gita together!]

Please find below a short note from him. –Hari Ravikumar

My Journey with the Bhagavad-gita From my childhood, I have been connected to the Bhagavad-gita, one way or another. My father (K. S. Krishna Tatachar, Sanskrit scholar and author) taught me the recitation of the Gita in the traditional, rigorous way. By age 9, I had memorized the entire 700 verses of the Gita. The most thrilling moment with this rote memorization, ever fresh in my memory, was when I won the first prize in ‘Six Chapter Gita Recitation Contest’ at my school (National Middle School, Bangalore) in 1963. One of the judges of the contest was apparently so impressed that he added Rs. 10 from his own pocket to the actual award amount of Rs. 29. I consider that as the most valuable ten rupees ever earned in my life because it was a blessing from Prof. H. S. Varadadeshikachar, who was to be my Sanskrit teacher in college; later, he was better known as H. H. Sri Rangapriya Swami.

Before I left to Houston, TX in 1978 to undertake postdoctoral studies at the Biochemistry department of Baylor College of Medicine, I requested my dad to say a few words about the Gita, which I promptly recorded on tape. In his brief talk, he said that the Gita is a sarva anukoola shastra, a scriptural guide which is convenient to everyone. That one phrase said it all. But I always wondered why even those who knew the Gita made life inconvenient for themselves and for others. Was it because of ‘something else’ (divisive and dogmatic ideas) coming in the way? I kept reading every book on Gita I could lay my hands on; I might have read fifty versions by now. In addition to that, I attended many discourses by reputed scholars. I found some new insights as well as the ‘something else’, which was not always the same, but was always there, and in disguise at times. All along, I was trying to intuitively make sense, especially of some tricky verses which could be understood in multiple ways; in a way, I was trying to read Krishna’s mind.

In 1987 as a biotechnology scientist at Phillips Petroleum Company, I attended a conference in Weimar, East Germany during which I visited Martin Luther’s hometown, I wondered why the Hindus did not get a Martin Luther but had only Popes! Then it dawned on me that Krishna is not just our Martin Luther but so much more than that. In 1988, I happened to watch Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers, on public television. I could see the beauty of myth. The question: “Did everything happen exactly as in the epic Mahabharata?” stopped troubling me. Many traditionalists take the epic literally while many rationalists discard it entirely. Thanks to Joseph Campbell, I did not fall into either of those traps.

In 1990, my brother K. Srinivas gifted me D. V. Gundappa’s discourse on Gita in Kannada, Jeevana Dharma Yoga (‘A Manual for Living’). This was a book first published in 1966, bringing national recognition to the author. I was happy to see that some of my own intuitive understanding was also echoed in DVG’s book.

My friend K. Vasudevan wanted to bring out an English translation of the Gita and asked me for a recommendation. I couldn’t think of one that I wholeheartedly liked. So in 2005, I began working on a translation, trying to keep out that ‘something else.

I had just completed a word-for-word translation to be published as a ‘one verse a day, self-study manual’ and shared the draft with a few, when the best happened. There came along my nephew Hari Ravikumar, over three decades younger (only in age) as co-author with brilliant ideas, great depth, unique talents, insights, and style. He wanted to first have a modern English version in order to make the book accessible to any person, from any culture, who wants to know about the Gita or about Indian wisdom. as a result we brought out The New Bhagavad-Gita: Timeless wisdom in the language of our times in 2011. Then in 2013, we wrote The Easy Bhagavad-Gita: An easy-to-read version for busy people. Both these books were well-received by readers around the world. In 2014, we published The Complete Bhagavad-Gita, a verse-by-verse self-study guide to master the ancient text with new insights.

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped us during these years. We would not have these books but for their constant support and encouragement. Also, I must thank my dear wife Shailini for putting up with this ‘Gita-nut’, a title accorded by our daughter and son!

I have always felt unexplainable joy even while simply reciting verses of the Gita and so much more when I have gone deeper into the text. But for my father’s initiation I might not have had a life-long obsession with this masterpiece. It is the greatest gift my father gave me.

[The present avatar of Dr. Sreekrishna]

About the Course Thanks to Shilpa Sharma for inviting me to conduct this online Bhagavad-Gita course in English! It will span from mid-Aug to mid-Oct. 2024. It is a course for anyone who is interested. Except for a working knowledge of English, no other pre-requisites are expected.

Starting on the auspicious Shukla Ekadashi as well as India’s Independence Day (August 15; it will be August 16 for India), the hour-long classes will be on zoom, five days a week (on weekdays, at 9.30pm EST) with no homework. I will read out the Sanskrit shloka, give the meaning of the words, and explain the import of the verse. I will try to ensure that the basic concepts are clear to everyone. I will leave the last 10-15 minutes of each one-hour session for any Q&A. That will also be time for my co-author Hari Ravikumar to share any thoughts.

In this manner, I will go through all seven hundred verses of the text, fully dedicated to Gita!

Whatever has been expounded in the Gita is meant to be experimented in our life and to be realized by experience rather than by blind faith or excessive intellectualization. I will share my personal experiences where appropriate.

By the end of the course, you will get an idea of what the Bhagavad-gita contains—and perhaps the learnings will enrich your life.

While teaching the class, I will be using our book The Complete Bhagavad-Gita (available in the US in three volumes)— Vol. 1 https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Bhagavad-Gita-verse-verse-self-study/dp/1724515853 Vol. 2 https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Bhagavad-Gita-verse-verse-self-study/dp/172451637X Vol. 3 https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Bhagavad-Gita-verse-verse-self-study/dp/1724516736

This is going to be roughly a sixty-hour course in a seriously casual setting, spanning three months. It is a free course.
