Study Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse scripture that is part of the Mahabharata. It takes the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna. This sacred text addresses the moral and philosophical dilemmas faced by Arjuna, providing profound insights into life, duty and self-understanding.

Many people associate the Bhagavad Gita primarily with the Mahabharata, but that’s not what Gita is about. While it is set during the Mahabharata war, the Gita focuses on universal themes of life, offering profound insights on overcoming challenges and achieving inner peace and happiness. Its teachings provide timeless wisdom that can be applied to everyday life, regardless of your knowledge of the Mahabharata.

Many mistakenly think the Gita is solely about the Mahabharata war, but it actually focuses on maintaining calm and composure amid conflict and intense action. This "war" symbolizes our daily battles, and the Gita teaches us how to face these challenges with inner peace and happiness. Thus, its teachings are highly relevant today when stress and anxiety levels are at their peak.

If you believe in Krishna, wouldn’t you want to understand His message for you? While the Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue with Arjuna, it addresses universal challenges we all face. Arjuna represents each of us, presenting our struggles to Krishna. Studying the Gita is a powerful way to discover what Krishna has to say to us. Similarly, if you believe in Jesus, explore the Bible; if you follow Guru Nanak, study the Guru Granth Sahib; whoever you believe in, study their message yourself and not go only by what others have to say.

The Bhagavad Gita is like a manual for life, helping you navigate challenges, understand yourself, and find balance. It's not merely a religious text, but is about inner transformation and how one can lead a peaceful, happy and meaningful life.

It has numerous benefits, such as:

1. Guidance in Decision-Making
2. Understanding Duty and Purpose
3. Excellence in Professional Life
4. Overcome Stress, Anxiety and Fear
5. Relief from Pain & Sorrow
6. Improving Personal Relations
7. Spiritual Growth
8. It touches all possible aspects of our lives
