Crash Course on the The Bhagavad Gita

I first watched this a few months ago when I wanted to find out some more mythology and try to understand what articles I was reading was referring to.

We began discussing the history and philosophy of yoga which includes the vedas and the sutras. It is a beautiful and colourful history but it is also very complex so hard to understand.

I hadn't thought about this clip since I originally watched it, but after todays class I couldn't help but feel that having watched this and the film "Sita Sings the Blues" was a bit helpful.

I will try to recap a bit more in the next few days.

I hope you enjoy this bit of indian history.

Sita Sings the Blues

I watched this film months ago.

It is a great parody on a serious story/legend/history. It is told creatively and realistically as one person wrote on youtube, "If someone stops on the street and asks you to narrate the Ramayana, this'll happen."

I hope you all enjoy just as much as I have.

This is an open source project by questioncoyright.org, so please donate and support their projects and this film.
