Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta Chapter 1 - An Understanding

Arjuna Vishada Yoga


A chapter about Arjuna's expression of sadness to the lord Krishna.

It is a mix of emotions and contradicting thoughts that arise in our lives to deviate us from our duties and responsibilities.

The thought of evasion that conquer us when we are weakened by emotions.

It begins with Drithrastra enquiry of his sons and padavas on the battle field from Vidhur who has the power to see as it is and provide the details of the scenarios that prevails.

While Duryodhan describes the potentials of armies on both sides to his guru Dronacharya and spoke about how it is supremely important to safegaurd Bheeshma pitamah.

And the sound of counches of various valoured people starting from Bheeshma echoed in the Battlefield, followed with other warriors sounding counches to boost the armies.


Now Arjuna asks Sri Krishna to place the chariot between the two armies to understand who all he has to fight, as he glanced toward the other side, he found his own family members and respected people standing on the side of adharma(evil), the intellectual arjuna provides multiple logics to how its incorrect to kill his own people and deterioration to the imbalance social framework with war leading to greater loss.
