Bhagavad Gita (गीता) with Acharya Vishweshwara N M

All courses › Bhagavad Gita

Word by word, the way the Gita is studied in a Gurukula.

I teach the Gita one word at a time. We chant a verse, split it into its words, put the words back in prose order, learn what each one means, and only then talk about what Krishna is saying.

That way you aren’t leaning on someone else’s translation. You see the meaning for yourself, in Krishna’s own words.

How I teach the Gita

Chant it correctly

Each verse is first learnt with clean pronunciation and steady rhythm, so it stays with you for life.

Padaccheda and anvaya

We separate the joined words of the verse and rearrange them in prose order, so the sentence becomes clear.

Shabdartha: every word’s meaning

You learn what each word means and why it takes that form. Key words like dharma, karma, yoga, atma and buddhi become familiar friends.

Tatparya: what it means for you

Then we look at the teaching itself, and how it applies to an ordinary day: a hard decision, a worried mind, a duty you’d rather avoid.

For children: Through stories

For children, the Gita comes alive through stories. Krishna and Arjuna, the Pandavas, the battlefield at Kurukshetra: the verses are chanted clearly and learnt by heart, and the meaning is told as a story a child remembers.

For adults: Through real situations

For adults, we look at what Krishna actually did for Arjuna. A capable man, confused and frozen at the most important moment of his life, and how Krishna helped him see clearly. Then we bring that to your own situations: a hard decision at work, a duty at home, a mind that won’t settle.

Five stages of Gita study

Stage I: Shloka Pravesha

Correct pronunciation, rhythm and the habit of daily recitation.

Stage II: Memorising and reciting

Whole chapters learnt with accuracy, building stamina for longer recitation.

Stage III: Word by word

Padaccheda, anvaya and shabdartha. Memorising alone is no longer enough; now you understand.

Stage IV: Tatparya vichara

The teachings themselves, verse by verse.

Stage V: Living the Gita

How the teaching shows up in daily life.
