What the previous participants say...!

The presentation is absolutely focused. The answers to our questions are very vivid and satisfactory. It manifests the presenter's in-depth knowledge.

- N.M. Gururaj, English Teacher
The Q&A session was good as it helped me understand how to look at what was being taught in the recordings based on Sampath ji’s answers in the session. I got a lot of POV’s which helped me delve deeper into the text.

- Shimpa Rathore, Homemaker
The teachings are covered precisely without taking up shlokas one by one. The sessions were curious throughout. This is a good guide and gives direction to study the Bhagavad Gita elaborately.

- Shivaswamy Belgur, Technical Advisor
The program was very well thought out and presented. Guruji was very engaging, articulate and to the point…I'm hooked line and sinker. Look forward to learning more with you. Pranams and many thanks.

- Priti Kapoor, Gardener and Seeker
I liked the concise summary given for each chapter by Sampath ji. They were very useful in helping me understand the key concepts. I used to feel quite overwhelmed in understanding the Gita and although I have many versions/books about the Gita, I never found the motivation to read them as it seemed like a lot. I now feel empowered to read the Gita myself.

- Meenakshi Srinivasan, Clinical Pharmacologist
The program is excellent! My long-time wish of understanding the Geeta is fulfilled. I am confident now that when I read Bhagavad Gita, it's not just recitation but with reverence and understanding.

- B.Sharada, Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies Department of Cooperation Govt of Telangana
Thanks for such beautiful sessions. It has been immensely valuable to me, providing a deeper understanding of the Gita. You explained it as simply as an interpretation of experience.

- Meena Bansal, Self Occupied
This is a life time experience for me. Every word spoken by Mr. Iyengar was precious and overall coordination by "Open Pathshala" was priceless.

- Col Arun Prakash Agarwal, Government service
The style of summarising the Bhagavad Gita overall and chapter-wise is unique and very helpful in providing a good grasp. Also, Shri Iyengar's deliberate style with his fully devoted heart sowed a seed of deeper devotion in me.

- Shreenath Mishra, Chartered Accountant
The Presenter had a very deep knowledge of the Gita, so he could answer all the questions.

- Satish Kumar Singh, Founder and Chief Operating Officer
