About Our Classes

Classes are taught by Shivam Gosai, a spiritual student and teacher in the Arsha Vidya Sampradaya who is dedicated to the path of inner growth and self-discovery. Shivam completed the three-year residential Vedānta course at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in 2017 under the guidance of Swami Dayananda Saraswati and other esteemed teachers. Since then, he has been sharing these traditional teachings with sincerity and depth. In addition, he is currently pursuing a PhD in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, exploring the intersection of Western psychology and Vedānta.

Currently, AVG Next Gen hosts Bhagavad Gita classes (Chapter 5) every Monday on Zoom from 7:45 PM to 9:00 PM EST. Each session begins with a 15-minute guided meditation, introducing practical techniques rooted in Vedānta and their application to daily life. This is followed by a discourse on 1-2 verses of the Gita, providing traditional insights and real-world relevance. The session concludes with a group discussion, offering participants an opportunity to reflect and integrate the teachings into their own journey.

These classes are designed for beginners and seasoned seekers alike, welcoming anyone interested in spiritual growth and self-inquiry. While each session builds on the previous ones, newcomers can join at any time.
