Heartfulness Education Trust, the education wing of Heartfulness Institute, has launched the Gitopadesh programme for students to bring alive the ancient teachings of the Bhagwad Gita for students. This is a virtual course aimed towards enabling children to learn Sanskrit through shlokas from the Bhagwad Gita and imbibe valuable life lessons from its teachings.
The course will teach the students 120 slokas mapped to 20 relatable themes from 18 chapters of the Gita.
It is a 6-month certification course for students from the age group of 5 to 15 years. Gitopadesh was launched by Mr. Kamlesh D Patel (Daaji), Global Guide of Heartfulness, Nitish Bharadwaj, a well-known actor; and former parliamentarian graced the inaugural event as the Guest of Honor.

Commenting on the launch, Kamlesh D Patel (Daaji), Global Guide of Heartfulness, said, “Our ancient traditions and scriptures are timeless in their teachings. Whether it is learning to practice Yoga, meditation, learning Sanskrit as a language, or studying our ancient scriptures like the Bhagwad Gita. With this platform we are making knowledge accessible and comprehensible for our future generation. By engaging their minds in learning Sanskrit, we hope to create an interest to learn more from our scriptures and adopt their teachings.”
