Name of event: Ghar Ghar Mein Geeta Training Session
Aacharya: Bri Nidhi ji
Date: 26th January 2015
Venue: Chinmaya Sagar
Approx 20 sevikas attended this 3 hour long session where Nidhi ji explained that:
· The idea behind ggmg is to make Geeta as simple and practical as possible. “Make Geeta the manual of life”, as said by Poojya Gurudev.
· It is our responsibility to bring people to connect to the Geeta & to the Master by showing them ‘What’ Gurudev Was.
· The barrier between the Geeta & the people needs to be broken.
In order to achieve this, various ideas and formats were exchanged.
At the end of the session the attendees took a sankalp to create awareness about the Geeta, Poojya Gurudev, about Chinmaya Mission and the noble work done under it's umbrella.

She also explained how the 18 chapters are understood to explain the statement ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ in the 3 sections of 6 chapters each. We then were shown video of Pujya Gurudev explaining the 3 paths of Karma, Bhakti and Gyan Yoga. A Q&A session followed. As there was an interest in understanding the meaning of Devotion, she showed us His video explaining the difference between love and devotion. Everyone enjoyed watching the video thoroughly.
