By popular demand, here is my Bhagavad-gita Small Group Resource. It contains resources for a 20 week small group program based on Bhagavad-gita. It is suitable for small groups of 2-20 people.
Each week one chapter or half a chapter of the Gita is covered. Participants read the Gita during the week, then discuss it in a 60-90 minute small group meeting. Having a resource such as this takes the pressure off the facilitator of the group to come up with something each week. There is a structure and some basic material, and they simply have to facilitate discussion and answer questions that arise.
The purposes of this resource and the small group program around it are three:
- 1. To encourage participants to read the Gita in a systematic fashion
- 2. To encourage them to discuss it in a systematic fashion
- 3. To encourage the formation and transmission of values in addition to information.
