Vision

"If the Upanishads present the aim and purpose of human life, the Bhagavadgītā indicates the way to attain them and live a life of fulfillment. By faithfully following that path shown by the Bhagavadgītā, man can make his life sublime, leave behind his footprints on the sands of time."

Pūjya Śrī Swamiji

His Holiness Parama Pūjya Śrī Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji is the Pontiff of Avadhoota Datta Peetham, Mysore, India. Pūjya Śrī Swamiji is renowned for His Meditation music and He is considered a divine guide who promotes the ancient Vedic traditions and spearheads many humanitarian and social welfare activities.

“Each chapter of Bhagavadgītā and Mahabharata are like moral lessons. Do not treat them as mythological stories. If you treat so, many silly doubts and questions crop up. Study its inner meaning. Study Bhagavadgītā. Memorize and understand the verses. It has all the answers for the modern day perturbed mind.”

Gītā Mahāyajña program

Parama Pūjya Śrī Swamiji envisioned the Gītā Mahāyajña program to empower children, youth & adults with the life transforming teachings from the Bhagavad Gītā. This vision of HIS gave birth to the SGS Gītā Foundation.

As part of Gītā Mahāyajña, students learn all 700 verses of Bhagavad Gītā in 10 months. Authentic pronunciation, authoritative memorization and emphasis on meaning of Ślokas is the hallmark of the Mahāyajña program. For adults, the program offers a choice of fluent reading category wherein they chant with the assistance from the script.

The students, who successfully complete the final examinations, receive certificates and medals. Gītā Mahāyajña graduates are blessed with an opportunity to participate in the sampūrṇa gītā pārāyaṇa, a key event in the annual Gītā Utsav, conducted in the divine presence of Parama Pūjya Śrī Swamiji.

Building on Gītā Mahāyajña, SGS Gītā Foundation’s comprehensive sessions, on the deeper meanings of the Gītā, empower the Mahāyajña graduates to seamlessly apply its timeless wisdom to real-world challenges.
