The Bhagavad Gita is arguably the most well-known and influential of all Indian scriptures. Gandhi famously referred to the Gita as his "spiritual guide and constant companion." Why has it resonated across centuries? Because its core dilemma is relatable.
On the eve of a monumental battle, the great warrior Arjuna is paralyzed by anxiety and moral crisis. Torn between his duty to fight for justice and his desire to not harm his family on the opposing side, he drops his weapons and turns to his charioteer, confidant, and spiritual guide, Sri Krishna. Arjuna asks what to do when every choice feels wrong. He wonders how to live a good, purposeful, and righteous life.
When faced with a difficult decision or task, have you ever felt moments of anxiety or fear? Have you ever become paralyzed by inaction? We've all been there.
Through their dialogue, Krishna offers profound practical guidance, outlining the core paths of Yoga helping Arjuna (and the reader) navigate life's toughest battlefields with an equanimous mind.
