Bhagavad Gita Shankara Bhashyam Class 01 – Mangalacharana & Ubodhgata

Swami Tattwamayananda, Minister-in-Charge at the Vedanta Society of Northern California in San Francisco, unfolds Adi Shankaracharya’s Bhashya (commentary) on the Bhagavad Gita in a series of classes that will be made available on SF Vedanta Channel on YouTube.

In this first class, the Swami gives an introduction to the Bhashya and also explains the मङ्गलाचरण maṅgalācaraṇa shloka:

नारायणः परोऽव्यक्तादण्डमव्यक्तसम्भवम् ।
अण्डस्यान्तस्त्विमे लोकाः सप्तद्वीपा च मेदिनी ॥

nārāyaṇaḥ paro’vyaktādaṇḍamavyaktasambhavam ।
aṇḍasyāntastvime lokāḥ saptadvīpā ca medinī ॥
