Prof Ravi Ravindra – Inner Transformation through the Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita

All the sages and all the scriptures throughout human history have said in one way or another that as long as I  remain the way I am I cannot come to the Truth or Light or God. A radical transformation of the whole of being of the searcher is is called for. We will explore the yoga of transformation taught in the Bhagavad Gita.
