Every one of us is on the lookout for a happier life, if not consciously, then subconsciously. Perhaps the advertisers know this better than we do. And that’s how they manage to lure us into buying products we don’t need.
Modern psychology has made great strides in understanding this science of happiness. And many of their findings routinely make their way into self-help books. But perhaps the greatest self help book of all time is the Bhagavad Gita that discusses the psychology of happiness in vivid detail. Interestingly, there are lots of parallels between what was documented in the Gita over 5000 years ago, and what the modern researchers have to say about this elusive science of satisfaction and well-being today. And that we shall be exploring in broad strokes in the webinar.
Based on our experience, some of the questions concerning happiness that we harbor either consciously or unconsciously are
- How can I minimize stress and maximize satisfaction?
- How can I achieve a better work-life balance?
- What contributes to long-term happiness?
- How to have better relationships?
- How to be a better parent for my children to have a happier future?
If you too are looking for the answers to the above questions, then you surely are at the right place.
As the oldest and arguably the most popular book on happiness, the Bhagavad Gita contains the answers to all these questions and many more. But to be able to pry out answers that can be plugged-in into our day-to-day living, we often need the help of a spiritual coach.
In this webinar, we aim to deep dive into key aspects related to:
- Analyzing different kinds of happiness.
- Understanding the relative roles that each kind plays in our life.
- Choosing the type of happiness that we need to focus on to increase overall life satisfaction.
- Step by step process for a happier life
- Overview of how we can practically implement what we have learnt in the session.
About the Speaker: A premier institute – the IIT – groomed Gopinath Chandra Das into a technocrat. Perhaps he was then expected to dive into some sort of cutting-edge research. But providence edged him out of mainstream science, and he found himself digging into books of the ancient Indians, the Vedas.
So far he has spent 18 years in the monastery at Sri Sri Radhagopinath Temple (ISKCON) situated in South Mumbai. As a Vedic Life Coach, he helps people improve the quality of their lives, and his background in science and technology helps him present the Vedas in a scientific light.
I finished an online course by Gopinath Chandra in one go. It was that good!
I came across Gopinath Chandra prabhu’s Gita classes at Iskcon in 2018 end. It’s been a wonderful association since then with gaining better perspective of Gita’s message for day-to-day life and overall well-being. Plus, the scientific approach of disseminating Gita and Bhagwatam’s message (including debates and reasoned arguments behind the principles espoused in the scriptures) is profound.
The grounded, practical, everyday life approachability of Gopinath Chandr’s teachings are what speak to me and have been speaking to me for the past 3 years. I find his teaching to have lead me in a very natural, personal development that would have been a difficult and slow process on my own.
Gopinath Prabhuji being very learned and well read, has always been able to guide me drawing upon learnings from scriptures as well as modern self help and psychology literature. He is also very open minded and willing to logically debate rather than dogmatic about matters. I have enjoyed all my interactions with him and look forward to many more.
Gopinath Candra explains Vedic concepts in his sessions in a very concise, easily comprehensible, and interesting way. Moreover, his content is aligned with the current generation and modern ways and thus becomes more applicable.
