To Become Illumined - Rev. Rachel Lonberg - September 24, 2017

Arjuna, a soldier, is about to go into battle. He serves a righteous cause and knows he is embarking on a just war—and yet he knows people, including his family, will suffer and die in the conflict. A God, Krishna, appears and the two of them discuss the best course of action. This is the setting of The Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu sacred text that is at least 4,000 years old, which Mahatma Gandhi called his ‘spiritual dictionary.’ This service will include a retelling of this ancient conversation.
