"Bagavad Gita" - The wisdom of ancient India speaks to the present day

The Bhagavad Gītā (Bhagavad Gītā) is one of the most important Hindu scriptures, which form part of the grand ancient Indian epic, Mahabharata. This text, consisting of about 700 verses, is more than just a communication of religious doctrine, but offers deep insight into philosophy, ethics, psychology, and life itself, with its universal message continuing to influence many people across time and culture.

"Gita" in "Mahabharata"

The Bhagavad Gita is positioned in the sixth volume of the Mahabharata, "Bhishma Parva." The Mahabharata is a story about the fierce battle for the throne between the Pandava and Kaurava families, but the Gita revolves around the deep conflict that the Pandava prince Arjuna faces, and his dialogue with Krishna, his coachman and god.

The background to this story is the battlefield of Kurkushetra. Arjuna is struck by intense emotional upset as she faces her relatives, mentors and people she respects among the enemy forces she faces on the battlefield. He is hesitant to fight, with deep doubts about the significance of fighting, his duty (dharma), and the meaning of life. The teachings that Krishna speak to Arjuna's suffering are at the heart of the Gita.

The central theme of the Gita: The raison d'etre of human existence and the path to liberation

The Bhagavad Gita explores the answers to the universal problems facing humans: "Why do we live?", "How should we live?" and "What is death? " The central themes can be summarised into the following four parts:

Dharma (Dharma, obligation, law) - refers to the principles of roles, responsibilities, and correct actions that an individual should play. Each dharma is defined by social position, age, gender, etc., and it is said that carrying out dharma is essential to maintain harmony not only for individual growth but also for the entire society. In Arjuna's case, the dharma was to fight on the battlefield as a warrior.

Karma (acts) - Laws relating to actions and their consequences. It is said that every act always comes with consequences, good deeds bring good deeds and bad deeds bring bad deeds. However, Gita emphasizes the importance of not simply being trapped by the consequences of actions, but rather leaving their obsession with the consequences and acting without thinking. This leads to the concept of "karma yoga."

Bhakti (bhakti, devotion, devotion) - The path of love and devotion to God. It is said that pure love and faith in God allow people to transcend themselves and experience oneness with God. In the Gita, devotion to God (particularly Krishna) is presented as one of the effective means of liberation.

Moksha (Liberation) - To be freed from the reincarnation of life and death, and to obtain eternal peace and bliss. The Gita shows you the path to becoming a moksha through various yoga practices.

Krishna's teachings: The diverse path of yoga

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna presents Arjuna with various yogas (trajectories of training). These yoga allow you to choose the best method based on your individual personality, abilities and values.

Karma Yoga (Yoga of Action) - A yoga that aims to act selflessly and not obsessed with consequences. You can grow yourself while fulfilling your dharma and contributing to society. Krishna preachs Arjuna to see fighting as an obligation and fight beyond personal feelings and attachments. In modern society, this karma yoga approach is useful when fulfilling work and home responsibilities.

Gyana Yoga (Yoga of Knowledge) - A yoga that aims to liberate through recognition of the truth and deepening intellectual understanding. By grasping the essence of the self and the truths of the universe through philosophical quests and meditation, you will be free from the suffering of ignorance. In modern society, the attitude of deepening knowledge and trying to understand things deeply is what makes Gyana Yoga.

Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion) - A yoga that aims to liberate through pure love and devotion to God. Through prayer, meditation, worship, etc., you can experience oneness with God and gain peace of mind. Even in modern society, having faith is a supportive and a force to overcome difficult situations.
