The first four modules of the master's degree correspond to the study of the
18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, structured in the four main paths of Yoga, as defined by Swami Vivekananda: Karma, Dhyana, Bhakti and Jnana Yoga.
The study of each chapter is carried out based on Two versions of the Bhagavad Gita.
1- Gita according to Gandhi, with comments by Mahadev
Desai and Swami Sivananda, Translated into Spanish by Pedro Nonell.
One of the most accessible and understandable versions
of the Bhagavad Gita; ideal to enter into its deep wisdom
Focus mainly focused on Karma Yoga, the path of work for the good of
humanity
Gandhi recognized that the strategy of his non-violent struggle to
achieve independence from the British Empire was based on this version of
the Bhagavad Gita
2- Gita Makaranadam by Swami Vidya Prakashananda, Translated into Spanish by
Pedro Nonell.
It is an advanced and very pedagogical version based mainly on knowledge

Each shloka has extensive commentaries (some up to four pages long)
Extensive comments by Swami Vivekananda are included in certain shlokas

paths of yoga (although in reality everyone followed the four paths):
Bhakti Yoga. Sri Ramakrishna was one of the greatest Bhakta Yogis in history
Jnana Yoga. Swami Vivekananda was one of the great Jnanis and philosophers of
humanity. Swami Vidya Prakashananda and Mahadev Desai also mainly followed this path
Karma Yoga. Gandhi was one of the great Karma Yogis, and his version of the
