SHREE GURU GITA
Swami Nirmalananda says, "My Guru, Swami Muktananda, always said Shree Guru Gita is the one essential text.
After having studied it as well as many other texts for more than three decades, I am beginning to understand how true this is. Every essential teaching is here! Most importantly, you get it all when you chant it, even more than when you study the English translation.
Thus I'd like to help you cultivate your ability to chant it - not only chant it accurately, but joyfully. So I'll be teaching the pronunciation, one verse daily for six months (or so!).
After that, I'll comment on the translation for one verse daily for the next six months (or so!).
Please accept this offering to you, in the name of and in service to my Guru."
