Why Despair Is the Beginning of Wisdom | Gita Chapter 1
from Bhagavat Gita - One Sloka A Day | Eternal Raga · host Eternal Raga
Why does the Bhagavad Gita begin with a breakdown, not a breakthrough? In this episode, we explore Chapter 1 : Arjuna Vishada Yoga, and discover how Arjuna's crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra mirrors the moments in our own lives when every choice feels impossible. We cover the Mahabharata backstory, the symbolism of Krishna as charioteer, and why despair, honestly felt, becomes the first step toward awakening.
