Description
Bhagavad Gita" Chapter 1: Arjun's Dilemma - confusion, indecision, chaos  We have all been in situations where we were confused and didn't know what way to go. How do we know right from wrong, good from bad? Can we be compassionate by not hurting someone else but allowing them to hurt us? Is that real compassion? These are some of the questions that Arjuna is dealing with in this chapter.  Summary of Chapter 1: As the opposing armies stand poised for battle, Arjuna, the mighty warrior, sees his intimate relatives, teachers and friends in both armies ready to fight and sacrifice their lives. Overcome by grief and pity, Arjuna fails in strength, his mind becomes bewildered, and he gives up his determination to fight. What is the Bhagavad Gita?  The Bhagavad Gita (The Divine Song) was written 3000 BC by Vyasa. It is a discussion between Krishna and Arjuna, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, India.     The Gita is considered by spiritual gurus to be the oldest, wisest and most powerful spiritual teaching in the world. It presents a practical path to enlightenment/awakening/self-realization through union with the divine. It speaks about various processes that lead to spiritual evolution culminating in divine love or bhakti-yoga.     The Gita delves into a wide range of topics including meditation, the soul, reincarnation, karma, God, divine love and so much more.     If you want to learn how to master this human existence and become free from suffering, then this program is meant for you.    I consider the Gita to be the most important instruction for any spiritual seeker. It contains the perfect message to help us deal with the chaos and darkness in our world today. I look forward to you joining us.  Rohit Host: Rohit Juneja, Spiritual Director/Counselor/ Mentor, is the author of “Loving Soulfully.” He grew up in India, and trained under highly evolved gurus and mystics.
