with Sri Radharamana Dasa (Suri Shandilya)
Date: Sundays 9 February to 9 March 2025 (4 sessions, no class on 23rd Feb)
Time: 14:00 PM – 17:00 PM
Location: Bhakti Lounge, Bhaktivedanta Manor, Dharam Marg, Hilfield Lane, Watford, WD25 8HE
Course Description
At School of Bhakti, we invite you to join us for a fresh exploration of the Mahabharata through a four-part seminar with one study day. For the first time in UK, the thematic commentary by Madhvacharya (13th century AD) will be used to dive deep into the saga.
The seminar will provide direct access to the original scripture in order to authentically analyse key historical incidents from the lives of the most pivotal characters. The seminar will spark debate and provoke you to rethink about who you thought was right and wrong, and perhaps lead you to question your own understanding of core values and ethics.
You may have heard about the Mahabharata, you may have watched the Mahabharata on screen, but this will be the first time you will enter the Mahabharata, free from bias. The principles extracted from this experience, will help you to see your own life challenges and rewards, like never before!
