In this episode, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi dive into the profound dilemmas faced by Arjuna at the start of Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita. Together, they explore how the ancient text’s teachings on knowledge, action, and devotion remain deeply relevant to our modern lives. Through personal stories, historical parallels, and spiritual insights, the hosts examine how we can reconcile the wisdom of philosophy with the realities of conflict—both on the battlefield and in everyday life.
Key topics covered:
- Arjuna’s crisis: The struggle between knowledge (Jnana Yoga) and action (Karma Yoga)
- The importance of devotion (Bhakti) and compassion in spiritual practice
- The concept of the higher good (Shreya) versus personal gratification (Preya)
- Parallels between ancient battles and modern-day moral dilemmas
- The impact of war on women and the role of rebuilding after conflict
- Trusting teachers and the process of spiritual growth
- Reflections on historical wars and their influence on spiritual movements
- The enduring relevance of the Gita’s teachings in contemporary society
Join us as we unpack the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and consider what it means to serve a higher good in today’s world.
