My Gita -1

My Gita -1

So after digging deep I realized reading and absorbing the essence of ‘Gita’ isn’t easy, it will take lifetime to practice and assimilate its philosophy. More than a religious text I consider it as a manual of human life on earth. It provides comprehensive solution involving the behavioral, (Karma yog) the emotional (Bhakti yog) and the intellectual (Gyan yog). Moreover it is largely focussed on one’s psychological expansion.
With this I present first one of this series. I will be covering three chapters at a time conveying its crux what I could fathom with my limited knowledge.

Chapter 1
VISHAD YOG
(Arjuna’s grief)
Protagonist Arjun represents man and his battle of life. Such sorrow and dejection occurs in everybody’s life.
Msg : Darshan (observation)
Maya the illusion in which we live which binds our soul and is the cause of all the pains and struggles.

Chapter 2
SANKHYA YOG
(Yoga of knowledge)
Krishna’s discourse on coward act of Arjun and courage to face the problems with stable mind.
Msg: Shaswat Aatma (The eternal soul)
Right knowledge is the key to all the problems

Chapter 3
KARMA YOG
(Yoga of Action)
Importance of right action without attachment and restrain of senses. Conquer the enemy of lust and rage. Do the duty as sacrifice. Actions bind men to world so the action should be taintless.
Msg: Deha (mortal body)
Selflessness is the way to progress and prosper.
