FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does it take 6 years to complete learning the entire Bhagavad Gita?

Great question! The Bhagavad Gita comprises of 18 chapters with a total 700 shlokas.  Over a period of time, we have learnt that learning 4 shlokas per class works beautifully. With each child to getting to repeat and get comfortable with not just the correct way to chant but also understanding the subtle chanting nuances. One class per week also gives them enough time to comfortably practice and submit their homework effortlessly and chant confidently. This amounts to 120 shlokas per year.  

Also keep in mind, the classes mirror the school calendar and are scheduled for August - May and include all vacations that the school calendar offers. This makes sure that kids don't forego classes due to their schedules and vacation time.


I have already attended classes for "x" number of chapters. Will it still take 6 years for me to complete?

No.  While learning the entire Bhagavad Gita from Start to Finish takes 6 years, since you have a head start, you will finish that much earlier, based on how many chapters you have covered. 


How many chapters have you covered so far?

in 2023, we have covered - 


What if I am joining now or if I haven't attended all of the 4 chapter classes?

This program has been designed to accommodate all start dates. The 18 chapters will be covered in a cyclic fashion. Which means
