@@kushal4956 Scientific because Krishna explains how the brain works and what is making people committing crimes and making us depressed...No scientists have been able to get that right...Only He did... That's plain common sense and psychology... If you are depressed and go see a therapist or a counsellor today, they will give you the same advices and knowledge that Lord Krishna already said in the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna 5,000 years ago... Do you know how many scientists became devotees of Krishna after reading Bhagavad Gita? Bhagavad Gita is a psychological scripture, social science dude....it explains everything clearly when Arjuna was in a dilemma and was panicking, Lord Krishna listened to him carefully without interrupting him because that's what you should do towards someone who is stressed...Hear them out and be a good listener....In schools, you learn skills of writing, of speaking but we don't get to learn how to listen...We always interrupt people in the middle of the conversation... That's one lesson to learn... Another is when Arjuna asked Krishna: "What is making me evil Krishna? I don't wish to be evil...I have no desire to be evil and to commit any evil deeds towards anyone but what is making me do so Krishna?" Krishna answered and said: "Your senses, and your mind...An untrained mind Arjuna will always be your worst enemy but a trained mind will be your best friend" (explanation why we fall into depression) because we think negative, we allow our mind to control us, our emotions to control us...We are enslaving ourselves to our emotions and thoughts...We aren't training our mind to think positive...If you think positive your mind will always give you positive solutions but if you think negative, it's obvious that your mind will bring you to your own downfall and tell you to end yourself... Positivity in = Positivity out Negativity in = Negativity out That's common sense and Science...Open the Bhagavad Gita and read it for yourself... It's not only about philosophy but about social science too...

[@noone-hd1ck]

I dont think you have read the bhagavad gita... Its a philosophic scripture. I dont know why all the religions are so focused on explaining why their religious books are the most scientific. No doubt hinduism itself is probably the most scientific religion, but the bhagavad gita doesnt have any science in it, its pure philosophy. One of the best philosophy book in the world right now. And its spiritual. And spirituality and science can function together, infact i think both spirituality and science are essential for humans to function properly.

18:30 This what Robert Oppenheimer referred to when the Atomic Bomb exploded in the Nevada Desert and that was recounted in the famous Opera on him Doctor Atomic? Can’t remember the title. Of course at the McCarthy trials or Witch hunt, when Oppenheimer stood trial as a suspected Communist, Oppenheimer refused to swear on the Bible, he chose to swear on the Gita instead. Oppenheimer had studied Sanskrit in order to read the text in the original rather than translated edition. Aldous huxleywas another converted Hindu as was indeed the novelist Christopher Isherwood of Liza Minnelli Caberet fame. Isherwood had translated the Geeta. While we’re on the topic another famous Hindu was Erwin Schrodinger of ‘Cat’ fame. Schrodinger quoted texts such as the Brihad Aranyak Upanishad, ‘Teachings from the Vast Forest’ These ancient forest symposiums were recorded. Another such Symposium held under the auspices of the lord Punarvasu was the Sveta Vastara Upanishad. Here the question for inquiry is clearly stated, methodology and time for the task and to report back given. This forms the recordings of that session.

500 years is when many vedic texts were put to writing. Before that (and even now) they existed like oral texts. Many people believe oral transmission to be error prone. But the opposite is true and we know this because of how the Vedas were transmitted, even today (Nambudhiri Brahmins eg). Oral transmission is more reliable (guru to shisha) than transmission via texts. But in the Western mind a text is only a text if it's written down. And so British and European scholars (Max Müller) fixated on the dating of written texts. We know better now, but the "500 BCE" mode still prevails

@Praveen Sharma, वाह शर्मा जी, दिमाग अब भी उल्टी दिशा में ही गया तुम्हारा। तलवार के दम पर और लालच देकर अपनी दुकान चला रहे पंथो को सीखने का ही विचार मन में ला पाए तुम. 😂😂 प्रश्न ये होना चाहिए था कि भारत में गुलामी की मानसिकता लेकर जी रहे कितने हिन्दू अपने प्राचीन धार्मिक ग्रंथों के बारे में इस तरह से चर्चा और विश्लेषण करते हैं जैसे ये विदेशी कर रहे हैं।

Bhagavad Gita is the way of life. Everyone in their life fights his/her own battle, not necessarily a physical battle also a physiological battle between the dharma and adharma (truth and evil)

[@manig1124]

@7:01 It's not a metaphor. It's rightly said half knowledge is more dangerous.

[@Mahadev7633]

These are not stories,but truth

[@tatsavitar7281]

Battle happened in the past but yes you can use it as a symbol. For your growth. But in the end you must give respect to our history. Without that he whom you try to reach will not be happy. Because all souls are one him. If we don't feel happy as you are not giving the fallen warriors the same respect for their duty and code by acknowledging it's truthness. For which they faught the battle. Truth is the absolute truth not as half but truth . There is no other way.

Bhagavad Gita means "Song of the Spirit". It is found in one of the chapters in Mahabharata (longest poem in world literature) written by sage Vyasa. According to Nilesh Nilkanth Oak in his book, "When did the Mahabharata war happen?" the first day of the war was on 16 Oct 5561 B.C. The (2 volumes) Bhagavad Gita written by Paramahansa Yogananda is highly recommended.

[@oceanbreathyogawellness4487]

You may also want to find the latest translation by Kavindra Rishi (Jeffrey Armstrong). Nilesh wrote a forward to it. This translation took Over 11 years to write based on 50 years of study. It is called radical because the language has finally been decolonized and is as close as can be to the original meaning using the limited ability of english. We have ben doing live Wednesday night study sessions online for the past 1.5 years since it came out. Sometimes Nilesh joins us which is wonderful.

[@vedikagirl997]

Am I the only one that felt this complete talk lacked flow? The way the talk was conducted gave me a sense that the orator wasn't really explaining the contexts of the story. You can't explain the Geeta and it's importance without contexts. That's the whole point of it! The whole talk was inconsistent with it's flow with him constantly asking what the geeta is and then going off on a completely different tangent only to come back to the question and once again ranting off. It makes it seem like this was just randomly put together and spontaneously performed. Shame that such divine knowledge can't reach people just because of a callous presenter.

the book is Universal, Geeta is not a religious book and can be read as a self help book. Only reading Geeta you can get the knowledge of anything wether management administration politics moral and spirituality. Even Chankya said that obtaining knowledge is more important than the path through which the knowledge is obtained.
