The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior 𝘼𝙧𝙟𝙪𝙣𝙖 turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘪𝘵𝘢’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴.”
➥ Arjuna’s struggle in the Bhagavad Gita is acutely modern. He has lost his way on the battlefield of life and turns to find the path again by asking direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself.
