Bhagavad Gita Study Group - Mondays, 8:00-9:00 PM

A Bhagavad Gita Study Group led by Rene David Alkalay at The Genesis Center for Interfaith Studies of the Genesis Society, a Queens based not-for-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of interfaith wisdom.
The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India 's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.

The group will meet at Tree of Life Yoga, 102-19 Metropolitan Avenue , Forest Hills , NY 11375 . Regarding scheduling, call us at 718-544-5997. A $10.00 contribution is requested for the continuance of our programs. Free for members of The East West Center for Interfaith Studies. Light refreshments are served.

Yoga Sutras Study Group - Wednesdays, 8:30-9:30 PM

A continuing Yoga Sutra Study Group led by Rene David Alkalay meets at The East-West Center for Interfaith Studies The greatest classical text from the yoga school of Indian philosophy is the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, written in the second century BC. These "threads" on yoga or union, are extremely terse, stating concisely and often precisely, essential points or techniques.

The group will meet at Tree of Life Yoga, 102-19 Metropolitan Avenue , Forest Hills , NY 11375.  Regarding scheduling, call us at 718-544-5997. A $10.00 contribution is requested for the continuance of our programs. Light refreshments are served. Free for members of The East West Center for Interfaith Studies.
