Duryodhana em Kurukshetra e seu pai, Dhritarastra, em Hastinapura vivem o drama de seus fracassos.

What does true renunciation really look like in day‑to‑day life? In this insightful episode we journey through Bhagavad Gita verses 18.7 to 18.13 and discover why Shri Krishna warns Arjuna that walking away from duty is not the same as walking toward freedom. Drawing from detailed class notes, we unpack the three faces of abandonment: tamasic neglect born of ignorance, rajasic rejection driven by discomfort, and the luminous sattvic release that blossoms when action is offered without craving a reward.Along the way you will hear the unforgettable tale of King Yayati from the Bhagavata Purana. Cursed with sudden old age, the restless monarch barters for youth only to spend a thousand years chasing pleasure before realizing that satisfaction never comes from escaping hardship. His struggle mirrors our own impulse to dodge unpleasant tasks, and it echoes Krishna's caution that such rajasic choices steal the fruits of spiritual growth.We then explore the tamasic trap through blind King Dhritarashtra, whose passivity cloaked in duty allowed adharma to thrive. These stories show why true renunciation cannot arise from fear or confusion. It is a conscious embrace of dharma, free from personal likes and dislikes.To anchor the discussion we turn to the Isha Upanishad. Its opening verse urges seekers who glimpse the Self to let go of all possessiveness, while its second verse offers a practical road for the rest of us: act wholeheartedly for a hundred years yet stay unattached. This Upanishadic wisdom converges with Nishkama Karma Yoga, the heart of Krishna's guidance.You will also see how Krishna's own life radiates this principle. From tending cows in Vrindavan to driving Arjuna's chariot on Kurukshetra, every role He played was service devoid of ego. By reflecting on His example we learn that ordinary duties performed with extraordinary consciousness purify the heart and open the door to liberation.Finally we look ahead to the Gita's next topic, the five factors of action described by Sankhya philosophy. These elements remind us that even our smallest deed depends on divine and material forces working together, so the ego's claim of solitary authorship is an illusion.If you have ever wondered how to balance worldly responsibility with spiritual aspiration, this episode offers a clear, engaging guide grounded in scripture and story. Tune in, reflect, and step closer to true renunciation.krsnadaasa(Servant of Krishna)

Understand Your True Self 05. Surrender to the divine I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope that this wisdom on how to to build our emotional strength from the philosophy of Lord Krishna will be helpful in your life.  Krishna is an important figure in Hindu philosophy. He is not only seen as a divine being but also as a wise teacher and guide. In the epic story of the Mahabharata, he serves as the charioteer for Arjuna, a brave warrior. Arjuna faces a serious existential crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where he struggles with doubts and confusion about his duty. As he prepares to fight, he feels torn because he has to battle against his own family, teachers, and friends. This heavy burden of sorrow and compassion makes him question if the war is right and whether he should even fight at all. During this difficult time, Krishna steps in to help Arjuna. He is not just a divine figure; he is a caring mentor who understands Arjuna's internal conflict. Krishna realizes that Arjuna's struggle reflects challenges we all experience in life. Through the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, he offers advice that goes beyond the battle, touching on key concepts such as duty, action without attachment and the importance of devotion. The bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu text that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It tells the story of a deep conversation between Arjuna and Krishna just before going into battle. In this conversation, Krishna shares important spiritual wisdom and guidance to help Arjuna deal with his inner struggles and confusion about fighting in the war. It is important to note that the Bhagavad Gita isn't promoting actual warfare or physical conflict; instead, it uses the battlefield as a metaphor for the inner struggle against the ignorance and moral dilemmas we experience.And just like Arjuna, we all deal with conflicts and tough decisions. Krishna's wisdom for Arjuna; well it's for all of us

In this episode, Shri Krishna takes on the role of a messenger, or Rajdoot, for the Pandavas. With the looming threat of war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, Krishna travels to Hastinapur to offer one last chance at peace. He meets the Kaurava elders, Bhishma and Dronacharya, and King Dhritarashtra, to persuade them to avoid the devastating war. Krishna urges Duryodhana to return the rightful share of the kingdom to the Pandavas, emphasizing the futility of conflict and destruction. However, Duryodhana, blinded by ego and greed, rejects Krishna's counsel, leading to heightened tensions. This episode beautifully captures Krishna's diplomatic efforts, his wisdom, and his foresight, while foreshadowing the inevitable Kurukshetra war.

After elaborating on the four schools of thought on the subject of renunciation, Krishna says, "Now hear My conclusion on the subject of renunciation which is threefold" (18.4). From the subsequent verses, clarity comes that renunciation is of three types viz. Satva, Rajo and Tamo renunciation. Krishna further says, "Actions based upon yagna (sacrifice), daan (charity), and tapah (penance) should never be abandoned; they must certainly be performed. Indeed, acts of yagna, daan and tapah sanctify even the wise (18.5). These activities must be performed without attachment and expectation for rewards. This is My definite and supreme verdict" (18.6). At the level of ignorance, one keeps collecting material things, gathering power, fame and influence. Renunciation is the next stage. One might treat it as a barter like donating to get fame or to attain punya (virtue) etc. Renunciation might also happen when one goes through despondency like Arjun's idea of renouncing the Kurukshetra battle. As all of us go through these dilemmas, a lot is said in Bhagavad Gita about tyag and sanyas. Krishna spoke about renunciation on many occasions. He said that one cannot attain siddhi (perfection) by mere renunciation (3.4); one should always be a nitya sanyasi (perpetual renunciant), i.e. one who neither hates nor desires; is free from the pairs of opposites (dwandwa-ateeth) and is easily liberated from all entanglements (5.3); he is a sanyasi and yogi who does his bounden duty without depending on the fruits of action (karmaphal) but not the one without action (6.1). These teachings are again reflected here when he said that actions like yagna, daan and tapah should be performed without attachment. He is referring to the mental entanglements to the karma or physical possessions. Similarly, performing karma without the expectation of karmaphal is another core teaching of the Bhagavad Gita.

Hindi Krishna Charitra 5 Krishna In Kurukshetra Govinda Damodara Stotra 1 Nashik by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

The Mahabharata war, known as the Kurukshetra War, serves as a powerful symbol of the battle between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness). It was necessary to restore balance and justice, as the Kauravas' greed and injustice towards the Pandavas had reached a tipping point. The war was a way to address the accumulated wrongs and bring about the triumph of good over evil, ensuring that dharma was upheld, even at a great cost. It's a reminder that sometimes, in the face of overwhelming injustice, a conflict becomes necessary to reestablish moral order.

Krishna says, "Yajna (sacrifice or performance of duty or selfless action) is satvik which is offered by those desiring no fruit of action; which is performed according to scriptural injunctions, with the firm conviction of the mind that it is a matter of duty (17.11). That yajna performed seeking fruits of action and with an ostentatious spirit is rajasic in nature (17.12). That yajna is tamasic which is without regard for scriptures, in which no food is distributed, no mantras chanted, and no donation is given and is without shraddha (devotion)" (17.13). The word yajna can be interpreted in different ways depending on the level of the seeker and accordingly, the meaning of these verses keeps varying. Firstly, the simple meaning of yajna is a fire ritual. History suggests that fire rituals were a norm during the time of the Kurukshetra battle. Till today, fire rituals are performed across the country on the occasion of festivals to invite good vibes and ward off evil. They are also common on occasions like marriages. A literal description of these verses gives a glimpse of how one performs yajna based on the guna which is dominant at that point in time. Secondly, yagna also stands for the performance of one's duties. These verses indicate how one discharges one's duties and responsibilities, from sincerity to carelessness, depending on the dominant guna. Finally, yajna also indicates selfless actions of give and take. While citing rain as an example, Krishna clarified that the selfless action of yajna holds the supreme reality or supreme power (3.15). He advised that instead of hoarding, one should participate in the cycle of give and take which will free us from all sins (3.13) -hoarding being the original sin. Just being a part of these selfless actions is nothing but the state of guna-ateeth (transcending the influence of gunas).

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most pivotal spiritual texts of all time. Its teachings have been taught for millenia throughout India, and outside of India for the past 100 years or so, inspiring billions with insights into how we can reduce suffering in our own lives.In this episode, Thom gives us a brief introduction to the Bhagavad Gita as a primer for his upcoming three-day course in which he'll take a deep dive into the subject, alongside fellow Vedic Meditation Initiator and Vedic literature aficionado, Jamey Hood.

“O King, at that time Arjuna, the son of Pandu, who was seated in his chariot, his flag marked with Hanuman, took up his bow and prepared to shoot his arrows, looking at the sons of Dhritarashtra. O King, Arjuna then spoke to Hrishikesha [Krishna] these words:” (Bhagavad-gita, 1.20)

May 20, 2022 • #Yogananda #Gita #BhagavadGita This is the third in a series of inspirational talks on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita as interpreted by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in God Talks With Arjuna, the great Guru's divinely inspired translation of and extensive commentary on this beloved scripture. The speaker is Swami Smaranananda Giri, a long-time sannyasi and current vice-president of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, the organization founded by Paramahansaji in 1917 to disseminate his Kriya Yoga teachings in India and neighbouring countries. Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) interpreted the Bhagavad Gita with divine insight, exploring its psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical depths. He revealed the innermost essence of this majestic scripture while presenting an enlightening and deeply encouraging guide to who we are, why we were created, and our place and purpose in the vast cosmic scheme of things. In the previous two talks in this series (available on YouTube), Swamiji had introduced the book God Talks With Arjuna and elaborated on Paramahansaji's commentary on the first three Slokas. In this talk, he explains Slokas 4, 5, and 6, which describe the spiritual soldiers in the cerebrospinal centres — devotion, spiritual memory, discriminative intelligence, pranayama, and others that assist a devotee in his inner battle of Kurukshetra. These metaphysical soldiers, Paramahansaji says: “are the spiritual effects engendered by the devotee's practice of yoga. They, along with the five principal Pandavas, come to the aid of the yogi to help him battle the evil soldiers of the sense mind.” In his “how-to-live” teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.

In this talk Swami Smaranananda Giri elaborates upon Paramahansaji's commentary, explaining through analogies and anecdotes how the presence of Kauravas (bad tendencies) within us impedes our spiritual progress and how nurturing the Pandavas (good tendencies) within us will eventually bring about the defeat of those Kauravas in the inner battle of Kurukshetra, thus leading to the attainment of the ultimate goal of Self-realization.

“The Supreme Lord said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence.” (Bhagavad-gita, 9.1)

Our temperaments are determined by a combination of the three gunas – sattva guna, rajo guna and tamo guna. Sattva guna is the highest and most sublime. It manifests itself as wisdom and serenity. Rajo guna manifests itself as dynamism and ambition. Tamo guna manifests itself as laziness and delusion.The three gunas reflect in different areas of human conduct such as the way we practice rituals, austerities and charity.The 14th, 15th and 16th verses discuss tapah (austerity) - physical austerity, austerity of speech and mental austerity. Austerity is about directing our mind and senses towards higher ideas.14th verse: “Those who practice reverence towards gods/goddesses, ancient sages, wise men and tradition, who do so with mental and physical purity, who do so with chastity and non-violence, whose body, mind and intellect operate in harmony and in one direction – their austerity is of the physical type.”The 14th verse refers to the “twice born”. This refers to people who had a biological birth and later a spiritual birth through initiation. The verse says that we should respect such good people in society. Then we develop their good qualities in ourselves. What we appreciate in others, that we develop in ourselves.15th verse: “Speech that does not cause vexation or anguish or disturbance in the minds of the listener, which is truthful, which is agreeable to the listener, which is beneficial to the listener, as well as recitation of the vedas, are austerities of speech.”16th verse: “Serenity of mind, sympathy, kindliness, silence, self-control, sincerity and honesty in dealings – these are austerities of the mind.”17th verse: “When the three-fold austerities described in the 14th, 15th and 16th verses are done with no desire for material rewards, with the mind, word, thoughts and deed in harmony with each other, with no pretention, with a serene expression – such austerity is considered Sattvik.”18th verse: “When the three-fold austerities are done with the objective of getting respect or acceptance or done with ostentation and pretention – such austerity is considered Rajasik. Such austerity is shaky and transitory in nature.”A smile that is done with pretention or for diplomacy does not last long – it is transitory in nature. Unnatural expressions create problems for the mind.19th verse: “Due to misconception, without following principles of moderation, if someone practices austerities that involve self-torture or harm others – such austerity is considered Tamasik and doomed for disaster.”If a spiritual seeker is very evolved, such as Buddha, and is able to withstand extreme austerity with joy because he is connected with the transcendental, then such austerity is Sattvik. It is a royal highway to enlightenment.Bhasmasura practiced austerity to gain powers to harm others. He ended up destroying himself.The 20th verse describes charity of the sattvic type.20th verse: “Charity done with the attitude “It is my duty to help this person”, done in the right manner without any expectation of return, given to someone who is in need of it, who will use it for constructive purpose, and done at the right place and time – such charity is Sattvik.”In commentaries on this verse, Kurukshetra is cited as an example of an auspicious place for charity and Sankranti is cited as an auspicious time for charity. Such charity is helpful to both the giver and receiver.Every act of charity loosens our karmic blocks. A beginner's mind may not cooperate when he starts spiritual practices. This is due to karmic blocks or accumulated samskaras which make him act in a certain manner. Noble, unselfish deeds, such as charity, generate spiritual energy and loosen the karmic blocks.With spiritual practices, such as the three yogas, there is a gradual evolution of the human consciousness from the lowest level of Muladhara to the highest level of Sahasrara. This ascent reflects the loosening of karmic blocks and their eventual disappearance. One should start with karma yoga, in the form of noble, unselfish activities.

Truth and lies, elephants and chariots collide on the battlefied of Kurukshetra, where the vows and desires of every character create a pattern no one could have foreseen and the battle in the world is revealed to be also a battle within.     

Bhagavad Gita by Vyasa audiobook. The content of the text is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and Prince and elaborates on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. During the discourse, Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself (Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form.

The Kurukshetra War (Sanskrit: कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध ), also called the Mahabharata War, is a war described in the Mahabharata (Sanskrit: महाभारत ). The conflict arose from a dynastic succession struggle between two groups of cousins, the Kauravas and the Pandavas, for the throne of Hastinapura. The war laid the foundation for the Bhagavad Gita.The historicity of the war remains the subject of scholarly discussion. The Battle of the Ten Kings, mentioned in the Rigveda, may have formed the core of the Kurukshetra war's story. The war was greatly expanded and modified in the Mahabharata's account, which makes it dubious.[4] Attempts have been made to assign a historical date to the Kurukshetra war, with research suggesting c. 1000 BCE. However, popular tradition claims that the war marks the transition to the Kali Yuga, dating it to c. 3102 BCE.The war took place in Kurukshetra.[6] Despite only spanning eighteen days, the war takes more than a quarter of the Mahabharata. The narrative describes individual battles, deaths of various heroes on both sides, war diplomacy, meetings and discussions among characters, military formations, and weapons used. The chapters dealing with the war are considered among the oldest in the Mahabharata.Hello. My name is Bibhu Dev Misra.

Over the past decade and a half, I have read the works of a number of writers - Graham Hancock, Michael Cremo, Adrian Snodgrass, Joseph Campbell, Walter Cruttenden, Subhash Kak, David Frawley, to name just a few - and have been inspired by their researches to seek answers to a large body of mysterious knowledge left behind by our ancestors in the form of sacred texts, inexplicable artifacts, awe-inspiring architecture, cryptic symbols, and fantastic myths and legends. I traveled to many ancient sites around the world in order to gain a first hand experience of these remarkable places. For the past few years I have been writing articles on various topics of interest to me and publishing them on my blog. Some of these articles have been published in different magazines and websites such as the New Dawn, Science to Sage, Nexus, Viewzone, Graham Hancock's website, Esamskriti, Waking Times, and others.I would like to thank the readers of my articles, and I hope that you will continue to support me and show interest in my work.

Karna is one of the most important characters who play a key role in the Hindu epic poem, Mahabharata. Although growing up as a child who did not know his parents, Karna becomes an accomplished warrior and a gifted speaker. He eventually became the king of Anga, a region in Bengal, under Duryodhana and joined the forces of Duryodhana during the Kurukshetra war. He was supposed to kill the third Pandava Arjuna, but he eventually died in battle with him.In the Mahabharata, Karna is shown to be a flawed but good man. After meeting his biological mother, he learns that his sworn enemies are his half-brothers but decides to continue being a loyal friend to Duryodhana. The character of Karna is a symbol of a man who is rejected by those who should love him but finds respect and love from the very people he should have stood against. Despite his shortcomings, he still manages to become a role model to many around him.His character is often developed to raise and discuss major moral and ethical dilemmas. His story has inspired various works of Hindu literature, both in India and southeast Asia.Read full article at https://mythlok.com/karna/
