Bhagavad Gītā
with Dr. M. A. Alwar & Dr. Vidya Alwar
सर्वोपनिषदो गावो दोग्धा गोपालनन्दनः
The Upaniṣads are the cows; their cowherd is Kṛṣṇa, the milker of their wisdom.
A thirty-three-lesson study of the Bhagavad Gītā, taught through the Gītārtha Saṅgraha of Yāmunācārya — the eleventh-century work that distils the seven hundred verses of the Gītā into thirty-two, holding the whole teaching in a single thread of inquiry.
Each lesson moves verse by verse and chapter by chapter, weaving philosophical commentary with the stories, metaphors, and practical guidance that have carried this text across generations.
A Note from Andrew
Welcome to this course, and to the tradition it draws from
I sincerely hope you find it valuable, and that what you encounter here continues to unfold in your practice over time.
Please take your time with this material. What's shared in these lessons comes from a living tradition — teachings preserved and transmitted with great care across generations of scholars and practitioners. They're meant to be lived with, returned to, and reflected upon, not rushed through. Different seasons of practice will reveal what an initial encounter cannot.
Thank you for supporting Mysore Yoga Traditions. Work like this is sustained by students who choose to engage seriously with the source, and your participation helps us continue offering it — and sustaining the relationships with the teachers and scholars who make it possible.
If you have questions, reflections, or feedback to share, please write to me directly at andrew@ashtangayogastudio.com. I'd genuinely like to hear from you.
— Andrew
