In the heart of Purdue University, amidst the bustling corridors of academia and the pursuit of knowledge, there exists a serene haven—an oasis of enlightenment where young and curious minds converge to explore the profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Welcome to the Bhagavad Gita Discussion Circle, a place where the quest for spiritual understanding, logical answers, and the deep exploration of ancient wisdom takes center stage. One of our primary aims is to foster mind management and stress relief and cultivate positive mindsets among Purdue students, utilizing the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita serves as a life manual with universal principles essential for students, aiding in stress management, developing positive mindsets, leadership traits, and other personal skills, and providing a space for stress relief and personal growth. At Purdue, we organize regular programs to develop individual skills, character, and virtues like self-discipline, self-confidence, and a spirit of selfless service to society. We organize weekly Bhagavad Gita Reading over Zoom, where we discuss a few verses and discuss their meaning among us. Additionally, we engage in book distribution, meditation, and weekly bhajan sessions, fostering spiritual growth and community and organizing celebrations for Indian festivals like Gita Jayanti, Sankranti, and Janmashtami. This chapter of JKYog Bhagavad Gita Circle: Purdue Chapter will be affiliated with the JKYog ("Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog"). JKYog is one of the USA's fastest-growing spiritual and charitable organizations. Swami Mukundananda, an IIT IIM Alumni and international authority in mind management, set it up. A common yearning among the youth at Purdue University sparked the inception of the Bhagavad Gita Discussion Circle. It was not just an appetite for academic knowledge but a deep craving for spiritual understanding—an unquenchable thirst for answers resonating with logic. A curiosity led these seekers to delve into the timeless wisdom encapsulated within the verses of the Bhagavad Gita. In particular, Swami Mukundananda's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita is highly recommended for its clarity, practicality, and authenticity. His ability to simplify complex concepts, provide real-life applications, and stay rooted in the Vedic tradition makes his interpretation invaluable and keeps the reader interested. The Bhagavad Gita Discussion Circle is more than just a gathering; it's a family—a community that supports and uplifts each other. Together, they embrace knowledge, wisdom, and the profound beauty of spiritual truths. They share their joys, challenges, and transformative experiences, forging bonds beyond the surface.
