Kannada Translation of Bhagavad Gita Home Study

The Bhagavad Gita Home Study Programme is a teaching programme based on the classes on Bhagavad Gita taught by Pujya Swamiji to the students of a three- year Vedanta Course conducted at AVG, Saylorsburg, Pa, USA. His classes were transcribed and edited to create this programme. This has been translated into many languages.

Swamini Varadananda, who is currently based in Mysore, completed the translation of the course into Kannada.

Pujya Swamiji released the Kannada translation of Volume VI and VII on the New Years Day at AVG, Anaikatti, Coimbatore.

Pujya Swamiji said the Home Study programme was a complete one and it took a lot of efforts to translate this voluminous work. Various translations of the programme were now available and many more translations in other languages would become available ere long.

Pujya Swamiji congratulated Swamini Varadananda on her dedication and effort resulting in the completion and release of Kannada translation of the Bhagavad Gita Home Study Course in just three years.

Speaking on the occasion, Swamini Varadananda said that she could undertake and complete the task of translating the Gita Home Study programme in Kannada only with the blessings of Srigeri Saradamba and Pujya Swamiji.
