Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1: Arjuna Vishada Yoga

॥ अर्जुनविषादयोग ॥

On the field of Kurukshetra, Arjuna sees teachers, relatives and friends standing on both sides. Compassion, grief and moral uncertainty overwhelm him. He questions whether victory can justify the destruction of family and social order, and lays down his bow. His crisis becomes the doorway to Krishna’s teaching.

Moral conflictCompassion and attachmentDuty under uncertaintyThe beginning of self-inquiry

हिन्दी परिचय

कुरुक्षेत्र की युद्धभूमि में अर्जुन अपने ही संबंधियों, आचार्यों और मित्रों को सामने देखकर शोक और मोह से भर जाते हैं। वे युद्ध के धर्म, परिवार के विनाश और अपने कर्तव्य के बीच गहरी दुविधा में पड़ते हैं। यही संकट श्रीकृष्ण के उपदेश का द्वार खोलता है।
