This course is designed to bring the heart of the Gītā—and the heart of Krishna—into our own.

Starting Week of August 17th

Here, Krishna shares what the ancient saints call rāja-guhya—the deepest and most confidential knowledge. Not just abstract philosophy, but a way of understanding Divinity and our relationship with Him that reshapes how we see everything.

He reveals a reality that stretches beyond ordinary thinking: everything rests in Him, yet He remains untouched.

Kṛṣṇa also addresses the many ways people approach the Divine—sometimes partially, sometimes indirectly—and how those approaches shape the results they receive.

He then contrasts this with the path of devotion: simple, direct, and uniquely protected.

What to expect?

• 37-week course

• 1 recorded class per week

• 1 live interactive Zoom class per week

• 1 weekly reading material with Q&A

• 1 additional practice session per week

Zoom sessions will be recorded and shared if you’re unable to attend live.

Live class time: Saturdays 10 AM EST (tentative).

About Your Teacher

Nityananda Chandra began memorizing verses in 1999, but it wasn’t until later that he made significant progress in his practice. While living as a monk in downtown Portland, he once saw elementary school students reciting Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gītā from memory. It struck him: if these children could do it, why couldn’t he?

Not long after, he discovered a key insight—that it is far easier to retain verses when memorized as part of a continuous sequence, rather than as isolated selections.

Our Courses

This mini-course is designed to embed the 4 essential verses within our hearts, the keys unlock it—and to challenge an assumption: even if you doubt it, deeply learning and memorizing a chapter of the Gītā is possible.

Starting the week of July 6th

This course is designed not only to help you learn these powerful verses deeply, but to give you a direct experience of the memorization process. Many practitioners assume they can’t retain entire chapters of the Gītā—this mini-course is meant to challenge that assumption and prepare you for studying Chapter 9 with confidence.

This section of the Gītā offers something especially powerful—it presents a complete picture of spiritual life. First, it reveals the truth about reality and our relationship with the Divine (sambandha). Then it shows the practice by which that relationship is lived and deepened (abhidheya). And finally, it points to the culmination of that journey: direct realization and a fully awakened relationship with Kṛṣṇa (prayojana).

In simple terms, it moves from truth, to practice, to realization. Or from understanding who we are, to how we live, to what we ultimately experience. By engaging with these verses, you’re not just memorizing philosophy—you’re stepping into a process meant to transform how you see, act, and relate.

A Structured Sanskrit Verse Study

A guided, weekly program designed to help you memorize Sanskrit verses with clarity, consistency, and deep understanding.

This is not casual study.
It is designed to help you stay consistent, retain what you learn, and see how the verses connect as a unified whole.

At the same time, the process is meant to be engaging and sustainable—something you can stay with week after week without it becoming overwhelming.

As the study develops, you’ll begin to see how different concepts connect and reinforce one another, creating a more integrated understanding of the text as a whole.

How the Study Works

Each week, you’ll engage with the material through:

– Guided memorization of selected verses
– Clear explanation of meaning, vocabulary, and context
– A live group session focused primarily on unpacking the verse from multiple angles
– Dedicated time for guided recitation and practice

The live sessions are centered on understanding—so that memorization is supported by clarity, not just repetition.

The memorization process is supported by a range of practical techniques—such as repetition, rhythm and meter, call-and-response recitation, physical engagement with the language, and meaningful connections between Sanskrit and English—to help the verses stay with you over time.

The emphasis is steady progress—built week by week.
