The 1999 sci-fi film, The Matrix explored existential topics such as: who am I? How did I get here? What is the purpose of my life? It also implored its audience to ask the question “am I awake or is everything around me a dream concocted by the mind?” 

Arjuna, in the Hindu classic, the Bhagavad Gita, wrestles with these same questions and experiences a nervous break down right before he goes into the most important day of his life. Clips of the movie will be shown as we explore the relationship between this modern sci-fi and ancient wisdom and attempt to resolve these age-old questions.

A juxtaposition of ancient wisdom and a modern sic-fi. This will be an engaging discussion where clips from the movie "The Matrix" will be shown and connections will be made to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

Gauranteed to be eye opening, mind expanding and thought provoking. It addresses
existenial quesitons such as why are we here and what is the purpose of life.
We will walk along side neo as he tries to understand what is real and what is note.
