Bhagavad Gita Online Training
How to study the Bhagavad Gita
In an era of spiritual searching, finding an authentic path to the wisdom of India is essential. The Gita Institute offers a comprehensive online training program overseen by Pedro Nonell, a distinguished Spanish expert on the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and the life-changing teachings of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda.
Our curriculum is designed to transform the individual by integrating the "heart, head, and hands"—a philosophy championed by Swami Vivekananda to bring the seeker into a closer relationship with God.
Whether you seek the practical non-violence of Gandhi or the deep meditative insights of the ancient Rishis, our training provides a structured, One-on-One journey into the soul.

The Wisdom of Swami Vivekananda
This Structure of the Bhagavad Gita is based on the following reflection by and is the one currently applied in the educational institutions of the Ramakrishna Mission:
“On the one hand, teaching secular subjects such as professional sciences, technology, and on the other the spiritual sciences of the Upanishads, the Vedas, etc. creating an integral man based on the concept: heart, head and hands.”
- Heart to feel (Bhakti Yoga)
- Brain to conceive (Jnana Yoga)
- Hands to work (Karma Yoga)
“And Dhyana Yoga (meditation) and detachment invigorating each of these paths.”
At the Gita Institute we try to apply this vision of Swamiji.
The training is designed to be delivered online, although it can be delivered in person or in a blended format. The training is One-on-One, each student can start whenever they want (continuous enrollment).
Our Mission
Our mission is to facilitate access to knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita (Yoga philosophy) through training at affordable prices as well as the propagation of the teachings of:
- The Bhagavad Gita (and Vedanta in general)
- Sri Ramakrishna (Principle of Harmony between religions)
- Swami Vivekananda (Vision: Western science plus Hindu spirituality)
An important aspect is that this training allows both to understand the original message of the Bhagavad Gita and to adapt it to the needs of today's world, thanks largely to the enormous work carried out by Swami Vivekananda (also translated by the Gita Institute) to make the Bhagavad Gita applicable by anyone.
The training related to the Bhagavad Gita is quite complex, especially due to the responsibility that the Institute must assume as it is a millennia-old sacred text. Explaining an Asana is not the same as, for example, Jnana Yoga (Para-Vidya). The Institute only aims to be a transmitter of Knowledge and in no case do we pretend to be Swamis or Rishis.
