The Bhagavad Gita: An Overview
The Bhagavad Gita is a part of the Mahabharata, one of the two great Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Gita unfolds as the Pandavas and Kauravas prepare for a monumental war. Arjuna, a warrior prince of the Pandavas, faces a moral crisis: he hesitates to fight against his own relatives, friends, and teachers on the opposing side. In this moment of doubt, Lord Krishna, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, appears as Arjuna’s charioteer and imparts profound spiritual wisdom about reality, duty, and the path to liberation.

Comprising 700 verses across 18 chapters, the Bhagavad Gita is presented as a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Its teachings are universal, resonating with spiritual seekers worldwide, regardless of cultural or religious background.

​

Core Teachings of the Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita explores several key themes that remain relevant for modern spiritual seekers:

• Karma Yoga (The Path of Action): Krishna advises Arjuna that it is his duty as a warrior to fight, but he must do so without attachment to the outcomes of his actions. He teaches that true freedom comes from performing one’s duties selflessly and dedicating the results to God. This practice of Karma Yoga helps liberate the mind from ego and breaks the cycle of birth and death.

• Self-Realization (The Path of Knowledge): Krishna guides Arjuna toward understanding the eternal, unchanging self, which is identical to the universal spirit (Brahman), distinct from the transient ego. Realizing this true self brings liberation, freeing one from the cycles of birth and death and leading to eternal peace.

• Bhakti Yoga (The Path of Devotion): Krishna emphasizes the power of devotion to God. By cultivating faith and offering all actions as a sacrifice to the divine, a practitioner can attain spiritual illumination and ultimate salvation. Bhakti Yoga opens the heart, fostering a deep connection with the divine.

The Relevance of the Bhagavad Gita Today
The Bhagavad Gita is more than a religious or historical text; it is a timeless guide for those seeking spiritual wisdom. Its teachings on duty, selflessness, self-realization, and devotion remain profoundly relevant in today’s world. The Gita provides clarity in ethical dilemmas, inspires balanced living, and offers pathways to inner peace and spiritual growth. At Yogveda Yoga in Bern, you can explore these teachings in a supportive environment.
