This audio series is recorded during the seminar with Neema Majmudar in Thonse (Karnataka, India)
The recordings are subtitled in English. 26 sessions of about an hour were recorded. The subtitles are as accurate as possible of the texts spoken by Neema.
Knowledge of the “Value of Values” mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, chapter 13, is important because they provide essential guidelines for personal development and spiritual growth. It helps people to live a more balanced and harmonious life. This is necessary in preparation for Moksha.
Subtitles
You can also read the subtitles in your own language. In Settings (the gear), go to subtitles and choose automatic translation in your own language. This is based on the English version. We use AI to convert speech to text, which works surprisingly well. The text was then checked to reflect the Sanskrit terms correctly as much as possible.
Book and extract
