"Embodied Wisdom:: Understanding Annamayakosha through the Bhagavad Gita"

 

"Embodied Wisdom:

Understanding Annamayakosha

 through the Bhagavad Gita"

Weekly Classes

 


 

Annamayakosha, the physical body or "food sheath," is the outermost layer of the human constitution according to the Vedas, sustained by food. Gita is a Smriti and as per the tradition, Smritis help in are deeper analysis of  Shruti. Thus, exploring Annamayakosha through the lens of the *Bhagavad Gita* deepens our understanding of the body's nature and its role in spiritual growth, fostering disciplined living essential for inner purification, peace and self-realization.

 

Sri Krishna refers to concepts related to Annamayakosha using terms such as *deha, sharira, gatra, kalevara, tanu, anna, and ahara in about 55 shlokas of the Bhagavad Gita. In these classes, we will engage in a systematic textual exploration of select shlokas, including verse chanting, word breakdown, and insights from traditional commentaries, to understand Sri Krishna's profound teachings.
