The definitive 3-month program for comprehensive understanding of Krishna's teachings. Go beyond surface reading to achieve genuine mastery through systematic study, meditation, memorization, and practical application.
The 90-Day Bhagavad Gita Mastery program is our most comprehensive offering—designed for serious students who want to achieve deep, lasting understanding of Krishna's complete teaching. Unlike quicker introductions that provide overview, this program takes you into the depths of each chapter, building a solid foundation that supports lifelong study and practice.
Over three months, you'll study every chapter in detail, memorize essential verses, establish robust meditation practice, and learn to apply Gita wisdom to every aspect of life. The program integrates multiple learning modalities: reading, contemplation, memorization, meditation, journaling, and practical application. This multi-dimensional approach ensures that knowledge moves from head to heart to hands.
Ninety days represents a quarter of a year—significant investment that yields profound returns. Research on habit formation and skill acquisition confirms that three months of dedicated practice creates lasting neural pathways and behavioral changes. By the end, the Gita's teachings will be not just something you know but something you are.

Chapters 1-6: The Crisis, Karma Yoga, and Meditation
We begin with the dramatic opening: Arjuna's crisis represents humanity's universal confusion when facing difficult choices. Krishna's response establishes the foundation for all that follows—the immortality of the soul.
Contemplate "I am not this body." Observe thoughts and sensations; recognize yourself as the witness behind all experience. 15 minutes daily.
This week contains some of the Gita's most famous and practical teachings. We study the essence of Karma Yoga and the description of the sthitaprajna—one established in wisdom.
Choose one action each day to perform without attachment to outcome. Journal your experience.
Chapter 3 elaborates on Karma Yoga with practical guidance: why action is necessary, how to perform duty without bondage, working for world welfare, and understanding the enemy of desire.
This week covers three crucial chapters: divine knowledge and sacrifice (Ch. 4), the yoga of renunciation (Ch. 5), and the complete teaching on meditation (Ch. 6). These establish both understanding and practice.
4.7-8 (divine incarnation), 6.5-6 (mind as friend/enemy), 6.35 (controlling mind), 6.47 (highest yogi)
By week's end, you should have: established daily study routine, basic meditation practice (20 min), memorized 10-12 verses, understanding of Karma and Jnana Yoga foundations.
Chapters 7-12: Divine Nature, Royal Secret, and Devotion
Krishna reveals his divine nature—both material and spiritual—and explains how devotees can attain him. Chapter 8 addresses cosmic questions: Brahman, karma, time, and remembrance at death.
Chapter 9 is considered the "king of secrets"—Krishna's most confidential teaching on devotion. He reveals how he pervades all creation while remaining personally accessible to even the simplest offering made with love.
Chapter 10 catalogs Krishna's divine manifestations—his presence in excellence throughout creation. Chapter 11 reaches the Gita's dramatic climax: Arjuna's vision of Krishna's terrifying and awe-inspiring universal form.
Chapter 12 describes the qualities of the ideal devotee—a practical template for spiritual development. Krishna declares that devotion is the most direct path and lists the qualities that make a devotee dear to him.
By month's end: meditation practice at 25+ minutes, understanding of Bhakti Yoga, 20+ verses memorized, ability to see divine presence in daily life, established devotional practice.
Chapters 13-18: Matter/Spirit, Gunas, and Ultimate Liberation
Chapter 13 distinguishes the body (field) from the soul (knower of the field)—essential discrimination for liberation. Chapter 14 explains the three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) that condition all existence.
Chapter 15's cosmic tree represents material existence; Krishna explains how to cut it and reach the eternal abode. Chapter 16 distinguishes divine from demonic qualities—a practical guide for self-assessment.
Chapter 17 analyzes how the three gunas affect faith, food, sacrifice, austerity, and charity. Chapter 18 begins the grand synthesis, explaining the three types of knowledge, action, understanding, happiness, and the duties of varnas.
The course culminates with Krishna's final instruction: complete surrender. We review Arjuna's transformation and receive the most confidential teaching. The program concludes with synthesis of all learning and commitment to ongoing practice.
