In this chapter, Arjuna is granted a divine vision to perceive Lord Kṛṣṇa full infinite cosmic form. Śrī Kṛṣṇa then goes on to instruct that only those who have full devotion similar to Arjuna can see and attain union with Bhagavān.    The Gita is one of the most widely translated and commented upon scriptures of the world. It is a revelation to humanity by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, a friend and disciple at a critical moment of his life.  It is a universal scripture containing various strands of teachings suited to all types of people at their stages of development.  It teaches the Supreme Goal to be attained as well as the means for attaining it.

Please join us for the 2026 CHYK/CSK East Coast Retreat on the theme of 'Sacred Secrets'. This retreat will be based on five key verses of the Bhagavad Gita -- or the Gita Panchamrit.    Gita Panchamrit is a sacred sādhanā that marks 75 years of the Chinmaya Mission Movement by inviting seekers to immerse in the timeless nectar of the Bhagavad Gītā. With five powerful ślokas at its heart, this year’s theme will impart Chinmaya Yuva Kendra and Chinmaya Setu Kari with the Gītā’s enduring essence.   In addition to the discourses on the five verses, we will have workshops, yoga, games, plenty of opportunities for introspection, and a bonfire! We are very fortunate to have Brni. Shubhani Chaitanya, our resident brahmacharini of Chinmaya Mission New York, guiding us through the retreat and leading the discourses.    Learn more about our wonderful Brni.
