Driven by his deep affection for the Pandavas, Drona put forth all his efforts to capture Yudhishthira alive. When the Pandavas learned of Drona’s vow, they resolved to protect Yudhishthira at any cost. Drona entered the battlefield, broke through the Pandava ranks and prepared to capture Yudhishthira. The announcement echoed across the battlefield: Yudhishthira had been captured and taken prisoner! At that moment, Arjuna arrived, his chariot driven by Krishna, traversing the…

Together, Krishna and the Pandavas visited Grandsire Bhishma, showing their respect by bowing before him. Bhishma warmly welcomed Krishna and the Pandavas, embracing his grandchildren with deep love and affection. Arjuna then approached Bhishma, saying, “Grandfather, you have blessed us with victory in this war. But how can we achieve that without first overcoming you?...”

Duryodhana, wounded and demoralized by previous defeats, headed to Bhishma’s tent in the morning. With a tone of worry, he pleaded, “Grandsire, how am I supposed to succeed without your guidance? Every day the battle turns against us. Our lines are collapsing. “My brothers and fellow warriors are being killed. I feel helpless as I witness this devastation. You, whom I believed would be our savior, seem to do nothing. How can we possibly hope for victory?”…

After hearing the divine words of Krishna, preserved for us in the Bhagavadgita, Arjuna’s delusion was destroyed. He regained his clarity and resolve through Krishna’s grace. Arjuna stood firm, free from doubt, and promised to act according to Krishna’s words. Krishna returned their chariot to their position in the Pandava army. The battle was set to commence, with both armies positioned and fully equipped. They were clad in polished armor with their weapons drawn. Arjuna blew his conch shell…

Chapter 17: The Yoga of the Three Kinds of Faith 
Krishna says, “Every being is born with innate faith, which is of three kinds: sattva-goodness, rajas-passion, and tamas-ignorance. The sattvic worship the Gods, the rajasic worship the demons (rakshasas) and the tamasic worship the ghosts/spirits. The food which is dear to each is of three types, as also ceremonies, austerity and almsgiving. Foods which increase life span, health, strength, happiness and… 
 
Chapter 18: The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation 
Krishna says, “The learned ones say that sannyasa is giving up actions motivated by desire. The wise ones say that giving up the fruits of your actions is tyaga. Some say all actions should be abandoned. Others say ceremonies, charity and austerity should never be abandoned. These activities should be performed without…

Chapter 15: The Yoga of the Supreme Spirit 
 
Krishna unveils the cosmic vision of existence through the metaphor of the eternal Ashvattha tree, the tree of samsara, showing the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. He describes this upside-down tree, with its roots above and branches below, representing the material world, ever-changing and impermanent… 
 
Chapter 16: The Yoga of the Divine and the Demoniacal 
 
There are two fundamental forces at play within every individual: divine and demoniacal. Here, Krishna provides a clear roadmap to discern the qualities that lead to liberation and those that result in bondage. Divine nature exhibits virtues that illuminate the path toward spiritual progress and ultimate freedom. In contrast, demoniacal nature is marked by traits that entangle souls in ignorance and suffering…

Chapter 13: The Field & the Knower of the Field  
Krishna says, “The field is much more than your physical body. It includes the great elements*, egoism, intellect and unmanifested nature, your ten senses*, your mind and the five objects of the senses*. Also desire, hatred, pleasure, pain, your body, fortitude and intelligence. Knowledge includes humility, freedom from hypocrisy, non-violence, forgiveness, uprightness…” 
 
Chapter 14: The Three Gunas 
Krishna expounds the profound science of the three qualities which constitute the fabric of all living beings and nature.  Sattva is luminous, pure and tranquil. It fosters wisdom, happiness and harmony... By contrast, rajas is restless and insatiable, propelling individuals into action, ambition and unending desire… The third guna is tamas, born of ignorance and darkness. It clouds discernment, giving rise to inertia, laziness and…

Chapter 11: Vishwarupa Sandarshana Yoga   
The Yoga of the Vision of the Divine Form  
Arjuna says, “Out of compassion towards me, You have cleared my delusion… I wish to see Your Divine Form. If You think it is possible for me to see It, then, show me Your Imperishable Universal Self.” Krishna says, “With these eyes of yours, you cannot see Me. I give you divine eyes; behold, now, My sovereign yoga-power.” Arjuna then saw the whole universe resting in the one. Arjuna bowed down his head and spoke with joined palms…

Arjuna asks, “O Krishna, you praise renunciation-of-actions and also performance-of-actions. Tell me conclusively which is the better of the two.” Krishna says: “Renunciation-of-action and performance-of-action both lead to the highest bliss. But of the two, performance-of-action is superior to renunciation-of-action. He who neither hates nor desires should be known as of eternal renunciation. He who is not subject to the pairs of opposites is easily set free from bondage. The wise don’t say that…

Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita is both profound and practical. It teaches the importance of performing one’s duty without attachment to the results. Krishna explains to Arjuna that action is essential and that it should not be avoided. In Karma Yoga, the emphasis is on selfless actions, which are performed as an offering to the Divine. This helps in purifying your mind and leading you towards…

In Kurukshetra, Yudhishtra was looking at the massive army of the Kauravas, who were so ready to fight them. He called upon Arjuna, saying, “The strength of the Kauravas is much more than ours, so we have to form our army in the needle point formation. This way, we can focus in a concentrated form, not spreading out in smaller numbers. This will prevent the attack of the enemy.” Hearing this, Arjuna wanted to have…
