Join Stacy Ingham and the AYS Raleigh Community for a discussion and exploration of the Bhagavad Gita, a Classic Hindu text with a message that spans the ages.
Set on an ancient battlefield where the armies of rival cousins stand ready to do battle, the Gita recounts the epic tale of the warrior-prince Arjuna as he confronts a life or death moral dilemma. What is the purpose or justice of war? Where does the right path of action lie when one duty conflicts with another? Gradually, through the intercession of his charioteer, the god Krishna, Arjuna is led to a higher understanding of the spiritual nature of man and the world. Encompassing both the personal and the transcendent, Arjuna’s dialogue with Krishna has resonated through the ages with the terrible beauty of ultimate revelation
