The Four Pillars of Our Spiritual Mission
My mission in relation to the Bhagavad Gita
Our curriculum and dissemination efforts are built upon four fundamental pillars of spiritual and social evolution:
1. The Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta
At the heart of our institute is the Bhagavad Gita (The Song of the Lord). We treat the Gita not just as a religious text, but as a "Science of Yoga" and a "Path of Wisdom." Our studies focus on Advaita Vedanta—the philosophy of non-duality—and how its principles can lead to a life free from suffering.
2. : The Prophet of Harmony of Religions
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa serves as our spiritual lighthouse. His life demonstrated the fundamental truth that "all religions are different paths leading to the same God." We explore his teachings on the harmony of religions and the direct realization of the Divine.
3. Swami Vivekananda: Science & Spirituality
As the chief disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda brought the wisdom of Yoga to the West. Our institute focuses on his synthesis of Western scientific reason and Hindu spiritual depth, emphasizing his four paths of Yoga: Karma (Action), Raja (Meditation), Jnana (Knowledge), and Bhakti (Devotion).
4. : a life based on Nonviolence and the Bhagavad Gita
We study the Gita through the lens of Mahatma Gandhi, who considered the scripture his "spiritual dictionary." His application of Ahimsa (Nonviolence) and Satyagraha (Truth-force) remains a cornerstone of our ethical teachings.
As well as the philosophical-spiritual-ethical dimension of the Science of Yoga transmitted by the main swamis (Swami Sivananda, Swami Vidya Prakashananda, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Patanjali, Shankara, Aurobindo...) to harmonize the “physical yoga” (Philosophy of Yoga) with “spiritual yoga.”
Audio Recitations: Experience the Vibrational Power of the Gita
We offer high-quality audio recitations of the Bhagavad Gita in Spanish (by Pedro Nonell) paired with the original Sanskrit (by Dr. Ghazal Srinivas), allowing seekers to experience the vibrational power of the verses.
