Over the past 30 years, I have seen my father, a practising doctor with over 40 years of service to humankind, read, learn, and immerse himself in The Bhagavad Geeta. Baba had wanted to study Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta; in addition to the knowledge he had gained from his parents and siblings, to develop a deeper and more nuanced perspective on life.

To pursue this passion, he started writing his thoughts on the different #adhyays in The Geeta several years ago. Over the years, his study area has grown to include multiple notebooks full of concept notes, and his thoughts about and interpretations of the Adhyays and Shlokas of the Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta.

The origin of Geetopanishad by Dr. Shreekant Gupte

When I visited India at the end of 2021, we recorded small nuggets of information and dad’s narration of the Bhagavad Geeta – in video format. The idea further developed into a full-fledged YouTube channel titled GEETOPANISHAD by Dr. Shreekant Gupte. Some meticulous planning and dedicated efforts helped us realize this dream and launch the channel in early January 2022. I hereby invite you all to view his channel here: https://youtu.be/Pz1bEKnPUpc.

The channel comprises simple 5-minute videos with easy-to-understand, rich, informative content that caters to people across age groups. Through the videos and engagement with listeners, dad seeks feedback, and welcomes diverse perspectives on the wisdom imparted by Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta!

I am thrilled to share that the channel received tremendous love, encouragement, support, and feedback in the very first year of creation. In a world of fast and short action-driven content, GEETOPANISHAD – a channel with a niche and eclectic subject such as this stands out with its robust content and humble content delivery.

The YouTube channel has its own, personalized handle and can be easily looked up with this link – https://youtube.com/@geetopanishad

In time, the YouTube channel was also extended to a Facebook page which can be accessed here - https://www.facebook.com/Geetopanishad

Turning a new leaf

Cut to 2023 - With a background in medicine and psychotherapy and having conducted several psychotherapy counseling sessions for individuals and families alike and Ayurvedic consultations, Baba was now ready to step into a new journey – that of life coaching and consultations through the teachings of Bhagavad Geeta. 

Thus, Geetopanishad by Dr. Shreekant Gupte was further expanded to include Bhagavad Geeta Narration and Life Coaching in Jan 2023.

In this new chapter, GEETOPANISHAD delivers address the challenges, curiosities, and concerns of one’s routine life through a personalized, live, ZOOM consultation session. This is an effort to help one implement the pearls of wisdom Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta delivers in their routine lives.

I am also happy to share that these 45-minute virtual consultation sessions have been well received and are progressing well. As a forever learner, Baba is happy to connect with people and help them address their challenges and concerns and learn a great deal about life from them in turn.

Hoping for more love, support, and good wishes going forward!
