5 Things I Learnt From The Bhagavad Gita

Hey everyone! I finished reading the Bhagavad Gita Parva from the Volume 5 BORI Critical Edition of the Mahabharata. Here are 5 things that stood out to me as I read this important philosophical text. Find the timestamps below to go each sections directly.
Please note , these are all personal opinions and we may disagree on some or all. I request everyone to maintain respect for everyone when they comment on this video. Hateful, derogatory and foul-language comments will be removed instantly.

Addition - Learning 3 - The text uses the word "Shvpaka" to indicate an "outcaste" and Bibek Debroy states that the words "Shvapaka and Outcaste" refer to the profession of Chandala.
(( I apologize to all for using this word and other words that reference the violence and ostracization resulting out of the practice of casteism and untouchability in the video - I acknowledge the trauma and oppression caused by casteism and untouchability to millions of Indians, both in the past and today. I also acknowledge the privileges that I have gained as a result of caste.))

Yes, I wanted to keep this section separate from the Vol 5 review because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to dedicate more time to the Gita in the overall book review. Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
