Start here

A gentle, step-by-step guide to the Joyful Living Satsang Study Group — what we study, how to read and listen, and how to join us. Everything here is offered freely, as seva.

Four simple steps

Your first steps on the path

Learn what the Bhagavad-Gītā is

A short, friendly introduction to the scripture and why it has guided seekers for thousands of years.

Read your first teaching

Each teaching gives the Sanskrit verse, its meaning word by word, a simple explanation and ways to live it. These two are a lovely place to begin.

Listen to a recording

Prefer listening? Play talks on the Bhagavad-Gītā and the Śrī Rāmacharitmānas directly on the website.

Join us online

We gather online every Thursday and Saturday. Join our WhatsApp group to receive session details, daily audio and reflections.
