The UAE chapter of School of Bhagavad Gita organized a series of discourses by Swami Sandeepananda Giri in Abu Dhabi and Dubai from the 17th to the 23rd of January 2010. The discourses were based on 'The art of Man - Making' in Abu dhabi, while the topic was Ishavasya Upanishad in Dubai - both before a very responsive audience.
The feedback from the knowledge seekers mentions that the Upanishad class, cemented their foundation of spiritual knowledge with the understanding and acceptance of the fact that it is indeed 'Ishavasyam Idam Sarvam'.
"Swamiji really elevated us to a different level of thinking and understanding on the concept of Viswham and Ishwara" said one of the attendees. "To learn Upanishad was a great moment for everyone and that too to understand it in a simplified manner as the way Swamiji teaches was even greater. We felt the time of 3 days was very less to complete it, however Swamiji ensured that it was not rushed through, but explained sloka by sloka so that everyone could benefit from it".
Abu Dhabi too had a dedicated and knowledge thirsty crowd for the 4 days of discourse. After the discourse was over, fired with enthusiasm in understanding the greatness of this knowledge, a 21 days discourse series on the Gita is being planned in Abu Dhabi.
Swami Sandeepananda Giri mentioned that he appreciated, and bowed before the "Shraddha" shown by the people, especially in places far away from their homeland of India.
