Speaker: Dr. Kalika Uttarkar
Teenagers often struggle with questions regarding their identity, self-worth, and their place in the world. They are called to navigate complex relationships with family, friends, teachers, and society and often encounter conflicts and challenges in communication and understanding. They experience intense emotions, stress, and anxiety due to academic pressures, social dynamics, and personal challenges.
Establishing a firm direction in life, identifying the right action, and having the strength to perform it, is an achievement, especially in the face of peer pressure, emotional turmoil, anxiety, academic pressure, and moral dilemmas. The Bhagavad Gita is a guide that can support a person throughout their life.
In this webinar, we will introduce ‘Growing up with the Gita', an introductory course designed specifically for teenagers, youth, and the young at heart. This course aims to introduce them to the profound and timeless Hindu wisdom through the essence of the Bhagavad Gita. By delving into its teachings, students can prepare for the 'Gita Pariksha' test, while unlocking a treasure trove of profound insights into life. The teenage years encompass significant transitions and developments on physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, and social levels. This phase often presents various challenges in different aspects of life.
