Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta is a non-religious textbook guiding humanity in a free state of mind for achieving moksha and the ultimate goal of human life.

All the sayings and teachings of bhagwat geeta in the form of verses were the conversational dialogue between Arjuna (the warrior of the Pandava family), and his teacher Shree Krishna on the battlefield.

Shree Krishna a great philosopher and teacher has given his wisdom/ knowledge to arjuna (his student) on the battlefield of “Mahabharata“.

The great battle of Mahabharat was fought between the Pandavas (Five brothers) and Kauravas (100 brothers). The war was fought officially for almost 18 days, and there were 3.94 million warriors fighting in the great war and only 12 were able to be alive.

So the great war of Mahabharat was fought in ancient India more than 3,700 years ago which was roughly 10 century BCE or the iron/Vedic age of India.

Amazing Facts of Geeta

Bhagwat Geeta is a superior book considered in Hinduism, and it is full of knowledge and science.

Bhagwat Geeta teaches you about- business, psychology, relationship, life, and much more. In other words, we can say that geeta teaches you everything essential for human life.

• The complete knowledge of Geeta was given to “Arjun” by “Shree Krishna” on a battlefield.
• The teachings of Geeta originated on a battlefield but do not contain any information about the war, instead it includes values for peace and prosperous life.
• Geeta does not force you to follow its sayings just like other religious textbook says. Instead, Geeta only shows you the path to reality and it is up to you- either follow or disobey.
• Do you know, that around 230 years ago Britisher “Charles Wilkins” converted Bhagwat Geeta from Sanskrit to English, just to read and know the ultimate knowledge?
• In ancient times, Hindu convicts in court swear to speak the truth while keeping their hands on geeta. And sometimes in British courts also, the Geeta was used as surety for speaking the truth if there is a Hindu convict.
• When Shree Krishna was given the knowledge of Geeta through his Avtar, he was of 89 years.
• There are 18 chapters in Geeta, and so the war of Mahabharat also lasted for 18 days- what an irony. In Sanskrit, 1 represents “ya”, and 8 represents “ja”, and the meaning of “yaja” in Sanskrit is “victory”.
• The original name of Mahabharat is “Jaya”, which is just the opposite of “yaja”.
• The Geeta which we listen to today is not said by Krishna, instead, Sanjay (advisor and war narrator) to dhrtarastra (enemy party to Krishna) listened to all the conversations between Arjun and Shree Krishna and then narrated them to Dhrtarastra.
• So the Geeta which we listen is a conversation between Sanjay and Dhrtarastra, and they are talking about Krishna and Arjun.
• All the teachings of Geeta were given in just one day, and that day was Sunday.
• The entire Geeta was narrated in only 45 minutes to Arjun by lord Krishna.
• The Geeta was gifted by Prime Minister of India “Narendra Modi” to the President of the United States “Barak Obama” in 2014. And Japanese Prime Minister “Shinjo Abe” also received a Japanese version of Geeta from Narendra Modi.
• At the last time of his life, “Elbert Einstien” started reading Geeta and regretted that he should have read Geeta in his early life. And also said that he will regret it throughout his entire life.

10 Psychology lessons from Bhagwat Geeta

The Human species is the most Intelligent and complex creature on the planet, and our ancestors figured it out in the ancient age.

So all human psychology was embedded in the form of literature, art, and culture. since human life is very short to uncover the truth of human psychology.

The questions asked by Arjun to Shree Krishna were not suitable for only that time period, but it is still important for human life.

And so, Shree Krishna has given, many Psychological lessons to Arjuna which are discussed below.

• Bad time may rise without doing anything, but good time needs some actions to be done.
• God will never help you but will assist you, So it’s up to you.
• Humans need to constantly fight world disorder, and the person who lost this fight becomes inactive in all the aspects of success in his life.
• Changement and replacement are two universal truths, and so every sadness and happiness is also temporary.
• Your focus should be on your duty, not on the result.
• You will become what you think and will develop your mindset and intentions accordingly.
• Belief is a very strong remedy, it can make- the poor person rich, the sad person happy, and the bad person good. “You are what you think you are”.
• Cowardice and fear are the enemies of success.
• Your mind can make or destroy you, So you should always think high of the previous state of your mind.
• Everything which distracts you from your success is “lust” which is the same as a sexual desire and is temporary in nature.

Teachings of bhagwat Geeta

For Students– There are 700 Shloks in Geeta, out of them 21 Shloks are for student life. Shree Krishna said to Arjun, that you are a warrior and if he won’t fight against injustice then it will be a sin by you.

Shree Krishna said that one must do his/her duty. And so the duty of students is their academics which should be done through dedication, and discipline.

Shree Krishna also said that you, do your work without thinking of the result you get.

For Business– Where there is knowledge, a poor person can also be satisfied but without knowledge, even a rich person cannot be satisfied.

The first shlok (Ch-1 Shlok-1) of bhagwat geeta is about “Dhtrarastra”, which tells- what happens in the battleground. Dhtrarastra is saying that my son (Kauravs) fought a war with (Pandavs).

Instead, Dhtrarastra should have said that our sons fought a war.

Here both Kauravs and Pandavs were cousins from the same family and Dhtrarastra divided them in the first shlok of the bhagwat geeta. And this division of selflessness has caused this great war.

Just like that, in business also the production department and marketing department should not fight for the decreased sales, but instead, they should collectively find out the problem.

A business and its employees should have the feeling of “oneness & unity” and this feeling should exist through all the branches of that particular business.

For Depressed– Chapter 2 Shlok 3, we should leave the cowardness of our mind and should have belief in our strength and focus on our obligations and duty.

For War strategy– The Persian empire, the roman empire, and many Indian empires have fallen because their enemies knew their weaknesses.

Identify your power and the weakness of your enemy, and you will win again and again and again.

Chapter 1 Shlok 3, In this shlok “Duryodhan” is criticizing his teacher and army general “Dronacharya” that his other student “Dhristdhumna” has joined the opponent party and now he is against them.

In this context, Geeta wants to tell us that in the time of war, we should not regret what we have lost, but we should feel blessed that what we have and should strictly focus on our victory.

In this Shlok, Geeta wants to say that instead of fearing the power of your enemy, you should focus on the weakness of your enemy.

In married life– The relationship between Husband and wife is considered the strongest bond in the purest form.

The relationship between husband and wife is just like a “body and its spirit”.

The meaning of a relationship is acceptance. It means that in a relationship of husband and wife, there should be an acceptance of both the- good qualities and the bad qualities.

Both husband and wife should accept each other as they are since without mutual respect and care, the bond is not possible. Even chemicals refused to create bonds without acceptance of each other’s characteristics.

For Friendship– Geeta teaches us that, Quality of friends is more important than the quantity of friends.

A friend should not be a person, who assists you in all of your thoughts and work, but a real friend is a person who shows you the right path toward your success.

In Geeta, we can see the friendship of Arjun and Shree Krishna. Shree Krishna always showed the right path to Arjun and encourages him to fight evil powers.

For Death & Life– In chapter 2 shlok 13, Krishna said that evolution is the law of nature. Our human body is distinct from our Atma (spirit), a body may evolve from childhood to old age but the Atma always remains the same.

So, one must accept the concept of life, death, and rebirth. The thing which is created today will live its life and will be destroyed one day, but Atma cannot be destroyed.

How Geeta has influenced the “Father of Atom bomb”?

The great physicist, Sir Julius Robert Oppenheimer, was suffering from depression and anxiety, and while working on a study of atoms and their behavior.

Late he found that, in order to come out of depression- he must read some non-scientific books and came to a conclusion to read some mythological books.

And then he realizes that Hindu mythology is the widest and deep mythology in the world, and for this reason, he started learning the Sanskrit language to understand the Hindu scriptures.

His Sanskrit professor Arthur W. Ryder advised him to read “Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta”.

After reading Bhagwat Geeta, Robert became a different person and his personality has drastically changed.

After Knowing his success in atoms and physics, Robert was chosen for the “Manhattan Project” and made a nuclear bomb that can destroy a whole city.

On the 16th of July, in New Mexico, at 5:45 AM, the atomic bomb was tested, and it formed an 11 km mushroom cloud and was as powerful as 21-kilo tone TNT energy.

After witnessing the shock of the atomic bomb, Robert remembered the Chapter 11 shlok 12 of Bhagwat Geeta and said “If 1000 sun explodes, the light visible from it will be equal to the presence of lord Vishnu”

After the Successful testing of the atomic bomb in the war over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Robert again remembered another shlok from Geeta- “Now I became the destroyer of worlds“

Summary-

The story of the Gita is the story of Indian civilisation itself.We know the Gita as Krishna’s counsel to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.

But was it Krishna who created it? Or was it poet Ved Vyasa who was speaking the truth of the universe through Krishna? Does Sanjaya, who told blind king Dhritarashtra all that he saw happening in a faraway battlefield, deserve any less credit? What about all the poets and philosophers who sang, recited, wrote down, or translated the Gita for people like us? This is their story – the story of the Gita.

Right before the final confrontation between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Krishna, who is the universe personified, rescues Arjuna from paralysing doubt by giving him the essence of Vedic thought – the Bhagwad Gita. Vyasa told the story of the Mahabharata to his disciple Vaisampayana, who told it to Romaharshana, who told it to Sauti, who told it to Shaunaka in the Naimisha forest.

Four thousand years ago, the rishis of Aryavarta composed the Rig Veda. In it, they praised the sun, the moon, and the planets. They paid homage to the forces that hold the universe together.

In the centuries that followed, the Yajurveda spoke of rituals with which mortals might call upon the gods and praise them. After that, the Upanishads shifted the focus from the celestial to the human.

Brahman, that which unites all beings, the song that vibrates and flows through all that exists, is shown to be a universal mind. Over centuries, after much debate and disagreement between monks, the Vedanta came to the people at last.

The Puranas, and the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata were written down in Brahmi script for the first time ever. When religions of the book arrived in the sub-continent for the first time, Vedic ideas began to be retold in regional languages and scripts.

Through songs and stories, Vedic ideas reached the masses. The Gita had found a new home — the Indian mind. When the Europeans made their first attempts to understand Indian culture, the many customs and beliefs of the Hindus made little sense to them.

So they decided that Hindus must have one book that is the source of all their beliefs. What the European scholars did not understand was that Vedic ideas could exist without being “holy books”. They did not understand the importance of songs, stories, and rituals that travelled the land, spreading the essence of Vedic thought. Also, the Bhagwad Gita is not the only Gita.

The Puranas speak of the Guru Gita, Ganesh Gita, Avadhuta Gita, Ram Gita, Uddhav Gita, Vyadha Gita, and the Anu Around the time when the Roman empire was rising in the mediterranean, the Mahabharata was being written down in India.

In a few centuries, it went from being a short tale called JAYA to being a mighty epic of one-hundred-thousand verses. And at its heart, there was the Bhagwad Gita – a book that has been called god’s gift to Arjuna.

Philosopher Adi Shankara saw in Gita the oneness of divinity and humanity. Ramanuja and Madhava found in the Gita the difference between the human and the divine. In the twentieth century, Mohandas Gandhi, Lokamanya Tilak, and Bhimrao Ambedkar all found different meanings in the Gita.

Across the seas, Huxley, Oppenheimer, and even Hitler, found their hearts reflected in the Gita. There are as many avatars of the Gita as there are minds that it has touched. While it has lived for long and meant many things to many people, the Gita’s message remains as simple as it was when the rishis first contemplated the Vedas.

Our world is one of infinite variety and change. Life does not last. Neither does death. We see the world as we are. We create meaning by giving shape to emptiness and by creating boundaries to contain the infinite. We create friends and enemies. We create right and wrong. We create our own truth and we let it define us.

There are three paths that can help us find our way in this world — Karma Yoga – the path of action and acceptance; Bhakti Yoga – the path of devotion and surrender; and Gyana Yoga – the path of knowledge and understanding.

When we understand the other person, we understand the universe. That is, and has always been, the way the world works.
