Discussion Series – Bhagavad Gita

UC Berkeley Hindu Student Council is pleased to announce the launch of its discussion group which aims to promote discussion and analysis of Hindu scriptures. We will begin by studying the Bhagavad Gita. Participants will read a part of the Bhagavad Gita, and share their thoughts, questions, interpretations, and ideas during bi-weekly discussion sessions.

Dr. Robert Goldman is our guest speaker the event. He is the Catherine and William L. Magistretti Distinguished Professor in South and Southeast Asian Studies.
