Description

The term Bhagavad Gita has a message to people from all walks of life. Philosophers delight in the description of the ‘Karma Yoga’ and ‘Samkhya Yoga’. The proponents of Bhakti cult extol the several manifestations of the Lord – His almighty ‘Visvarupa’ (Devine form). The description of the ‘Gunas’ (sattva, rajas and tamas) can surprise even a hardcore psychologist. The common man finds solace in the concept of the ‘stitaprajna’ (equipoised soul) to overcome his ever increasing anxieties. Management experts see in it the entire process of Change management. Perhaps, the greatest (and the most modern) idea is the focus on commitment to work, without getting excited about the rewards. The portrait of a ‘Karma Yogi’ has made many a scholar – from both the occident and the orient, to sit up and take notice of the elegant truth behind all human endeavors. Hence, the Gita has universal appeal and it transcends the boundaries of time and space.
