18 Lessons From The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is the most sacred text for the Hindus.

It is a part of the great epic, Mahabharata.

Shree Krishna imparted valuable lessons to Arjuna in the Kurukshetra battlefield, covering a variety of topics.

The Gita has answers to what a soul seeks, rendered with authority by none other than the Creator Himself.

The best part is that it is documented, and even after thousands of years, it is relevant and precious.

According to me, the most important takeaway from the Gita is-

Focus on the work; not the reward.

Action is yours; results are not. 

I keep reminding myself this- 

The Gita has 18 Chapters.

The following 18 lines share a summary of the 18 chapters-

How A Son India Got Mother Arrested And Saved A Tribal Woman

EVIL WOMAN Seema Patra, TRIBAL WOMAN Sunita, & SON INDIA Ayushman

We were/are rejoicing that a highly-qualified, experienced, and competent “Tribal Woman”, Droupadi Murmu Madam, has now been elected as our nation’s President, (More in my posts- Vocal For Local - President Droupadi Murmu, President Droupadi Murmu - Tribal Woman and More,  Droupadi Murmu – Much More Than Her Tribal Woman Identity).

But, it is shocking to see the gross treatment meted out to another tribal woman, a domestic help named Sunita.

The former’s struggles and accomplishments are awe-inspiring; the latter’s experiences are numbingly jaw-dropping.

While so many citizens hailed and celebrated Murmu Madam’s selection and election, many voices express their stern condemnation to Sunita’s ordeal caused by her employer, Seema Patra.

Who is Seema Patra?

Jharkhand's ex-IAS officer's wife and BJP ex-politician - State Convener, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, Jharkhand BJP (She has been suspended by the party now).

“Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” - a seemingly strong woman, who supposedly stands up for the causes of women, correct?

The Smart Assistant

A business tycoon was found dead in his office-room.

The CCTV had been tampered.

“Do you notice anything unusual here?” the police asked his personal assistant when she arrived at the crime scene.

One look at his room and she pointed at the packaged water-bottle.
