How to Read a Sacred Text

Learning to See Through the Eyes of the Great Teachers

Begins December 5, 2026
Eight-week online course
With Sundar Gopal das

An eight-week online course offering practical methods to understand Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava texts more deeply—so that understanding nourishes devotion.

Today, Gauḍīya literature is more widely available than ever before. Yet access alone does not guarantee understanding. This course offers practical methods for entering the world of these texts and allowing their teachings to enter our hearts and transform us.

How the course works

Each week, you’ll watch a 30-40 minute video with Sundar Gopal at your own pace, spend 1-2 hours on assigned readings and preparation, and join him for a one-hour live, interactive Zoom session.
