The Bhagavad Gita is a Spiritual Science (Para-vidya) Yoga Sutras Philosophy

How to study the Bhagavad Gita

For Swami Vivekananda, Western materialist sciences are about objective reality, that is, what one sees, perceives, and experiences. The so-called Spiritual Science in the Upanishads, cultivated in India, deals with subjective reality.

The knowledge of the objective reality, the body (Shetra), is Apara-vidya, and Para-vidya is the realization of the Knower, the Self, the Atman (Self-knowledge).

There are three verses from the Bhagavad Gita that will help us better understand this concept:

“Sri Krishna: That which in this body is called the Witness, the Author, the Sustainer, the Experiencer, the Great Lord and also the Supreme Atman, is the Supreme Person” Bhagavad Gita 13 (Yoga of the Distinction between the Field and the Knower of the Field)-2 3

I affirm that it is the true Knowledge. Bhagavad Gita 13.3

Bhagavad Gita 6-29. Man focused on Yoga (Philosophy). Equanimity
Gita 6 (Yoga of Meditation)-29

The East has cultivated the science of Para-vidya, while the West, the science of Apara-vidya.

Swami Vivekananda Vision: Liberating humanity from ignorance (Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta)

The Bhagavad Gita is above all a Moksha Sastra, a book of liberation and Self-Knowledge, it is ultimately the study of the Science of the soul, of our immortal part; and also of the philosophy of Yoga (Yoga Sutras of Patanjali).

“Sri Krishna: A firm conviction about the nature of the Atman (self-knowledge), perception of the goal of knowledge of Truth. All this is Knowledge and the opposite is ignorance.” Gita 13-13

The Bhagavad Gita-Shastra is Yoga. Bhagavad Gita is Yoga-Shastra

The online study of the Bhagavad Gita - Para-vidya (higher knowledge) - requires a different methodology than study of any other subject - Apara-vidya - (economics, design, engineering and even Asanas).

Bhagavad Gita in Spanish Para-Vidya (ciencia espiritual) y Gita Bhagavad Gita in Portuguese Para-Vidya (Ciência spiritual) and Bhagavad-Gita.
