Full textAbstract:
Bhagavad Gita Devata Song, is one of the Vedas. He often refers to it as the fifth veda, the Pancamo Veda. It is not clear why it was named so, because when viewed from the aspect of the codification of the Hindu religious scriptures called the Vedas, it is traditionally called Vedic chess. Structurally the content of the Bhagavad-gita is more focused and is a collection of the previous Vedas. This is one step in the development of the history of thinking in Hinduism. The Bhagavad-gita appears as part of the Mahabharata which consists of 18 parvas, and 700 slokas. Learning the Bhagavad Gita is a necessity that must be carried out by Hindu students. Every day, even every time students should take their time to learn to read the Bhagavad Gita. A good learning process is a learning process that can make it easier for students to understand the Bhagavad Gita material being taught. In this study, the information provided by the application includes an understanding of the Bhagavad Gita, the contents of the verse from the Bhagavad Gita, assistance on how to read the sloka properly and correctly according to the existing recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
The Bhagavad-Gita, as a multivalent text, has been a source of inspiration for all areas of Indian thought. This paper identifies elements in the Bhagavad-Gita which may have influenced the formation of Nyaya philosophy in the centuries after it was written. Part one of the paper reviews Nyaya epistemology as a whole, focusing on aspects that play an important role in the Bhagavad-Gita: perception (pratyaksa), inference (anumana), ‘syllogism’, verbal utterance (sabda) and the practical orientation of knowledge. The second part shows how those aspects appear in the text of the Bhagavad-Gita. In praticular, Krishna relies on a number of techniques in convincing Arjuna of his obligation as a ksatria which would later be formalized in Nyaya philosophy as pramana or methods of knowing. As a whole, the Bhagavad-Gita also emphasizes the Nyaya view that knowledge is only useful insofar as it helps the knower achieve a particular goal. This paper does not, and has no pretention to prove the existence of a direct line of influence connection the Bhagavad-Gita and Nyaya philosophy; readers will instead gain an appreciation of the shared cultural context which gave rise to both of these forms of Indian thought.
Abstrak
Bhagavad-Gita, sebagai teks yang multitafsir, telah menjadi sumber inspirasi bagi segala pemikiran India. Makalah ini mengidentifikasikan unsur-unsur dalam Bhagavad-Gita yang mungkin memengaruhi pembentukan filsafat Nyaya selama beberapa abad setelah Bhagavad-Gita ditulis. Bagian pertama makalah meringkas epistemologi Nyaya secara keseluruhan dengan berfokus pada aspek-aspek yang memainkan peran penting dalam Bhagavad-Gita: persepsi (pratyaksa), penyimpulan (anumana), ‘silogisme’, saksi verbal (sabda), dan orientasi praktis pengetahuan. Bagian kedua memperlihatkan bagaimana aspek-aspek tersebut muncul dalam teks Bhagavad-Gita. Secara khusus, Krishna mengandalkan berbagai teknik dalam meyakinkan Arjuna akan kewajibannya sebagai ksatria yang kemudian diformalkan dalam filsafat Nyaya sebagai pramana atau sarana pengetahuan. Secara keseluruhan, Bhagavad-Gita juga menekankan pandangan Nyaya bahwa pengetahuan hanya berguna sejauh dapat membantu si penahu mencapai tujuan tertentu. Makalah ini tidak dapat membuktikan adanya garis pengaruh langsung yang menghubungkan Bhagavad-Gita dengan filsafat Nyaya; namun, kita tetap dapat mengapresiasi suatu ‘kemiripan keluarga’ di antara keduanya yang menunjukkan kekayaan konteks kebudayaan yang menghasilkan kedua buah pemikiran peradaban India ini.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the views on the creation of knowledge, innovations, and inventions from the Bhagavad-Gita and its significance in today’s context. A review of literature on Bhagavad-Gita shows that a number of studies have been done on the Bhagvad Gita from various perspectives; however, very few have been done to integrate the Bhagvad-Gita’s interpretation of knowledge, self-knowledge, innovations, and inventions as a necessity in the contemporary world. As a result, this paper not only interprets the literature but also provides some significance and insights on the contents of Bhagvad Gita and from the ancient Indian philosophical perspective. Chinmayananda asserted that an ancient philosophical scripture like the Bhagavad-Gita needs intelligent re-interpretation to apply effectively in the context of modern times. This paper is based on published literature and its interpretations, a qualitative research methodology that involves the study, understanding, and interpretation of ancient classical scripture. The Bhagavad-Gita is more than 5,000 years old and is written in the Sanskrit language. In a nutshell, the Bhagavad-Gita provides an inside-out approach to knowledge, innovations, inventions management, unlike the outside-in western perspective. The Shrimad Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most popular ancient religious scriptures not only amongst the Indians but also throughout the world. It speaks to the mind that has fought in life, a mind that is dissatisfied, a mind that is alert and thinking and that has many conflicts. Bhagavad Gita inspires the mind and provides strength, moral courage, and clarity of thought with which one can steer through the struggle.

Full textAbstract:
The Bhagavad Gita is usually called the fifth veda ( pancama veda ), together with the four Sanskrit Vedas, namely the Rig Veda , Atharwa Veda , Sama Veda and Yajur Veda . The Balinese are familiar with the five vedas, and know the Bhagavad Gita as the sixth book of the ancient Javanese version of the Mahabharata epic. The Bhagavad Gita that features as a part of the ancient Javanese version of the Bhisma Parwa is ascribed to King Teguh Dharmawangsa Anantavikrama Uttunggadewa of the Kediri Kingdom in the 10th century CE. He is credited to have been responsible for ordering the translation of the Mahabharata (known in Bali as Asta Dasar Parwa —the 18 parwas). This translation effort from Sanskrit into the ancient Javanese language was dubbed mangjawaken Byasamata (translating into Javanese the works of the sage Byasa). The ancient Javanese version of the Bhagavad Gita contains the dialogues between Kresna and Arjuna about the swadarma (holy obligations and responsibilities) of a ksatriya (warrior) according to his wangsa (social class). A ksatriya was deemed responsible for defending his country, fighting against the enemy, as well as for upholding truth, satya wacana (truthfulness), lascarya (sincerity) and sradha bhakti (devotional service).

Full textAbstract:
The Upanishads are known as one of the oldest philosophical texts in the world that form the foundation of Hindu philosophy. The Bhagavad Gita is the core text of Hindu philosophy and is known as a text that summarises the key philosophies of the Upanishads with a major focus on the philosophy of karma. These texts have been translated into many languages and there exist studies about themes and topics that are prominent; however, there is not much done using language models which are powered by deep learning. In this paper, we use advanced language models such as BERT to provide topic modelling of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. We then map those topics of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads since it is well known that Bhagavad Gita summarizes the key messages in the Upanishads. We also analyse the distinct and overlapping topics amongst the texts and visualise the link of selected texts of the Upanishads with the Bhagavad Gita. Our results show very high similarity between the topics of these two texts with the mean cosine similarity of 73%. We find that out of the fourteen topics extracted from the Bhagavad Gita, nine of them have a cosine similarity of more than 70% with the topics of the Upanishads. We also find that topics generated by the BERT-based models show very high coherence when compared to the conventional models. Our best-performing model gives a coherence score of 73% on the Bhagavad Gita and 69% on the Upanishads. The visualization of the low-dimensional embeddings of these texts shows very clear overlapping themes among their topics adding another level of validation to our results.

Full textAbstract:
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world's oldest known holy scriptures, dating back over 5,000 years. The scripture, which Hindus believe was inspired by God, contains unique perspectives and prescriptions for today's leaders. The Gita advises managers to seek a higher level of consciousness. It makes them influence people and lead compassionately and inclusively. The Bhagavad Gita advocates a consciousness approach to transformational leadership based on eternal values and moral principles. Many researchers and practitioners in business leaders identify the Bhagavad Gita as one of the most famous and quoted works in Indian literature. The paper attempts to assist business leaders with insights into Indian scriptures and how they can benefit from the ancient writings of spiritual gurus. Therefore, the authors pursue extracting and elaborating the Bhagavad Gita's concepts into business leadership. Specifically, the study indicates how lessons from Gita can help transform a transactional leader, 'me-leader',into a transformational 'we-leader'.

Full textAbstract:
This conceptual paper aims to provide a solution in reducing the agency problem through the implementation of religious values in Bhagavad Gita. The solution offered in this paper is cultivating religious values in the Bhagavad Gita, which includes: carrying out obligations by eliminating lust for the reward obtained, facing sorrow and joy with unanimous determination and eliminating ego. Implementation of these values will minimize the agency costs that may arise. Applying the religious values of the Bhagavad Gita can be a powerful step in reducing the agency problem. Furthermore, when one organization is able to implement it properly, it will become a role model for other organizations especially non-profit organizations. As far as the authors are concerned, there has been no published papers discussing how to reduce agency problem through religious values in Bhagavad Gita.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The paper aims to understand and expand the idea of capitalist accumulation process from social structures of accumulation theory to religious structures of accumulation within the Indian context. It analyses the philosophical tenets of Hindu religious philosophy as outlined in the Bhagavad Gita. It argues that the ideological narratives within the Bhagavad Gita are concomitant with the logic of capitalism. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws its methodological lineage to nonlinear historical narrative around the concept and construction of Asiatic modes of production debate. The paper follows discourse analysis to locate how the Hindu religion as outlined in Bhagavad Gita provides philosophical foundation to capitalism in India. Findings The Bhagavad Gita (Songs of God) gives social and spiritual legitimacy to a specific form of production and accumulation processes by rationalizing and justifying socio-economic stratification based on eternal inequality. The paper focuses on the interface between cardinal principles of Hindu religion as outlined in the Bhagavad Gita and capitalist modes of social and economic processes in India. Originality/value The paper aims to advance a new concept called “Hindu modes of accumulation” by advancing the theoretical understanding of the theological processes in the Hindu religion, which reinforces capitalism and capitalist social relations in India.

Nesta pesquisa, procura-se analisar as características e significado da guerra evidenciados no texto indiano Bhagavad Gita, pertencente à obra Mahabharata. Sua produção é posterior à dos grandes Vedas, os primeiros textos sagrados do que viria a tornar-se o Hinduísmo. Tendo seus versos inteiramente compilados durante o século IV AEC, a obra adquiriu o formato atual aproximadamente pelo século V, já que se acredita que o processo de produção tenha durado em torno de um milênio, por meio da tradição oral. É no Bhagavad Gita que ocorre o diálogo entre o deus Krishna e Arjuna, o herói da história. Neste capítulo, consta o ensinamento divino passado para o guerreiro, que trata do sentido da vida e do papel do guerreiro na sociedade védica, tornando a obra referência para a varna dos Kshatriyas (xátrias, a varna guerreira).Palavras-chave: Filosofia guerreira, Bhagavad Gita, Índia.

Full textAbstract:
The Indian tradition has always revered the Bhagavad Gita as a text of marvellous universality with the ability to throw light on many aspects of an individual’s life journey. Further, its importance is underscored by its preeminence as a source book of Indian Psychology. Indian Psychology is a modern appellation given to the extraction, compilation and consolidation, from Indian sources, of the principles of psychology based on the framework of concepts and categorisation of the western tradition of psychology. This article examines the deep insights into the human psyche as presented and intuited from the Bhagavad Gita and consolidates them into maxims. The examination of Indian Psychology is guided by Advaita Vedanta - which is one of the windows of interpreting the Bhagavad Gita. The generic and particular principles of Indian Psychology as seen through the lens of the Bhagavad Gita are then studied in apposition with the principles of modern psychology. This study yields an interesting set of observations about the common ground between the two disciplines: indicating what Indian Psychology could learn from Modern Psychology; and the unique insights that Indian Psychology offers which could contribute to a better understanding and handling of human existential crisis and its resolution through better informed existential quests. In an attempt to give a practical orientation, the article examines briefly the principles of Indian psychology that influenced the life of three national leaders who have publicly acknowledged their debt to the Bhagavad Gita, having been life-long students of the text viz. Lokamanya Tilak, Sri Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi. The uniqueness of their personality/leadership will be correlated to the Bhagavad Gita’s repository of the Principles of Indian Psychology.

Full textAbstract:
The Bhagavad Gita is a philosophical Hindu scripture in which the god Krishna imparts lessons to the warrior prince Arjuna about sacred duty (dharma) and the path to spiritual liberation (moksha). This classical scripture has had a long and active interpretive life, and by the 19th century it had come to be regarded as a core text, if not the core text, of Hinduism. During the colonial period, interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita considered the relevance of Krishna’s lessons to Arjuna in the context of British colonial rule. While some Indians read a call to arms into their interpretation of this scripture and urged their fellow Indians to rise up in armed resistance, Gandhi famously read a nonviolent message into it. This article argues that equally as important as Gandhi’s hermeneutics of nonviolence is his commitment to enacting the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita as he interpreted them in the daily life of his intentional communities. When explored through the lens of daily life in these intentional communities (which Gandhi called ashrams), we see that Gandhi’s interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita emphasized not just nonviolence but also disciplined action, including self-sacrifice for the greater good.

The Bhagavad Gita like the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola leading to spiritual enrichment points out of a meeting of heart and mind between two texts. The essence of the spirituality of the Bhagavad Gita, like the spirituality of Ignatius is the vision of God. Its spirituality is oriented towards God above the world as well as within it. Both texts offer a parallel insight for deep and authentic happiness building up a life towards God and in God. Even though the Bhagavad Gita and the Spiritual Exercises play different qualitative rolls in its own traditions, both agree that only those who have God above the visible world are able to experience God vice-versa. The quest to have God experience is an exercise involving conscious effort and constant attentiveness.

Background: This is one in a series of articles in which the author attempts to relate Eastern philosophy to contemporary programme planning and evaluation. Purpose: The author compares and contrasts the Bhagavad-gita with contemporary guidance on Results-based Management. Setting: Not applicable. Subjects: Not applicable. Research Design: Not applicable. Data Collection and Analysis: The author used the four pillars identified as being the base of RBM from a UNDP technical note as the framework for the analysis. Findings: Not applicable. Conclusions: In RBM strategic goals are defined that initiate a causal process in which results are specified to achieve the goals, and these, in-turn, determine programmes, processes and resources. One of the central ideas of the Bhagavad-gita is the performance of activities without attachment or any expectation of results. This is a concept to which the tome refers as renunciation. Furthermore, the Gita states that renunciation enables us to enter into a conscious alignment with the higher order.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a flurry of activity in management literature for developing management theories for the last one and half century. People, in general, tend to assume that globally renowned companies adopt the best managerial practices and the management theories of the West are the best worthy of emulation by the Eastern counterparts. In the backdrop of crumbling communist concepts and the near failure of capitalistic models, especially after the fall of Lehman Brothers in USA, scholars have begun to perceive the hollowness of those models and turned their attention to the ancient wisdom of oriental countries. Leadership is having greater significance in managing an organization. Leaders are the persons who motivate and build the morale of the followers in achieving organizational goals to newer heights. Notwithstanding the prevalence of plethora of literature on leadership from the Western management perspective, scholars have begun to take a relook at ancient Indian scriptures which have valuable lessons in the area of leadership. In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna acted as a role model and imparted great lessons of leadership to Arjuna. An attempt is made in this article to draw leadership lessons from Gita which inspired the people from time immemorial.

Humans want to know about the origin, fate, freedom, purpose of life, and the meaning of life. Human philosophy is an analysis of the discussion of the human self from a philosophical point of view. In Hinduism man is not only about the body, but also about the soul. In Hinduism, the body has a layer called <em>Tri Sarira</em>. <em>Tri Sarira</em> consists of <em>sthula sarira</em> (gross body), <em>Suksma Sarira</em> (subtle body), and <em>Antah Karana Sarira</em> (causative body). <em>Sthula Sarira</em> or gross body, is an observable and visible body that can directly interact with society and the environment. This gross body is formed by gross elements, which have visible and form. <em>Suksma Sarira</em> or subtle body is a body consisting of subtle elements, such as mind, intelligence, consciousness, divinity, and the faculties. <em>Antah Karana Sarira</em> or causative body, is the spirit or <em>ātma </em>which gives life to the body so that the body can carry out activities. Body and spirit need each other, the spirit needs the body for <em>karma</em>, while the body needs the spirit to live. The essence of human being born is to learn. Is one way of controlling the mind and focusing the mind on God so that the mind is not carried away by the senses which results in attachment. <em>Paramātm</em>a is the spirit that accompanies <em>ātma </em>in each of his incarnations, while <em>ātma</em> is the soul bound by <em>karma</em>.

Full textAbstract:
Many people think that Bhagavad Gita is a book to be studied in old age after retirement. Another misconception is that Gita is a highly philosophical text and hence, not amenable to common people. Some others consider it as a sacred religious text meant only for Hindus. The truth is that Gita belongs to the whole humanity, not just Hindus. It is relevant to people of all ages, not just old, retired persons. Gita contains religion, philosophy of the highest order, psychology, motivation, management, leadership, communication skills etc. It depends on from what angle we analyze it. In this paper I argue that Gita is useful in everyday life for all age groups and at every stage of life. Some of the topics I analyzed include: how much to eat; what type of people eat what kind of food; how long to sleep; what is the right attitude towards work; how strong desires lead one to the path of destruction; how to take successes and failures in life; how to maintain equanimity of mind; and how to cope with death of near and dear. As an illustration, food is a very important aspect of life. Sadly, obesity has become a serious problem since it leads to diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Easy availability of food everywhere and at affordable prices resulted in change of food habits of the public and consequently to obesity. On the other hand, some people, especially youngsters, eat too little in order to maintain a slim figure. That leads to eating disorders, resulting in major health problems or even death. Lord Krishna provides a solution to this problem. He advises that one should be moderate in one's eating; neither too much nor too little.

Full textAbstract:
In the Indian tradition, the Moksha (Salvation) is reckoned as a super goal of life and its genuine scripture is Bhagavad Gita, but where in Yoga is the super means of all that, connecting life i.e. as a spine of the India’s mysticism. In accordance with the tradition Bhagavad Gita is known as the specific treatise of Yoga-practices along with super ethics and as its originator Lord Krishna who was become in the unknown deeper past. So the Gita is extreme holly text particularly for the Hindus communities. For the spiritual transformation of human’s life, it describes prominently two streams of Yoga- first common Path of Yoga (Indirect travelling to cosmic consciousness) and second esoteric Path of Yoga (Direct travelling to cosmic consciousness). Although the major difficulty to understand is that the Gita is codified as the formulas (Sutras), symbolic words and metaphors, so it cannot be decoded exactly by the common skill but it’s needed enlightened skill for the exact de-codification and interpretation. In order to another context, Gita discusses the “Pravitti Marga” (Path of Tantra) and along with “Nivritti Marga” (Path of Yoga) in detail. If we see the entire scenario around spirituality so the Gita has been more popular from ancient to now because of introducing the Path of devotion, Path of action and Path of knowledge. So therefore these all Yoga has discussed briefly in this review article.

Our academia is familiar with the educational theories and thoughts developed in the West. However, we have no adequate information about our own historical and cultural thoughts in relation to education, despite their importance and comprehensiveness. In the Bhagavad Gita, I noticed that some of the basic components of educational philosophy are present. Among the various aspects of educational thoughts, this paper deals with the interpretation of the meaning of education that can be found in the Bhagavad Gita. Interpretation of a comprehensive meaning of education consisted within the Bhagavad Gita can contribute to inspire academicians to look behind the curtain of history for searching valuable knowledge. It can also provide some bases for comparative study of educational philosophy in the East and the West. From methodological perspective, this paper is a product of an Arts-based hermeneutical interpretation of a historical scripture that has established interesting links to cultural practice, personal experiences and feelings of the author.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jer.v3i0.7853Journal of Education and Research March 2013, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 65-74

This article explores the hidden Bhagavadgita and no one knows about material offerings to all living beings. This Bhagavadgita appears as a light of knowledge for humans so that humans can have a sense of concern for fellow humans through offerings or sacrifices. Offerings that are easily accessible and performed consistently are called Dravya Yadnya. The concept of Dravya Yadnya is a depiction of human life that is carried out by making sacrifices or offerings in the form of Punia or alms. This act is done so that all beings can live in prosperity through their caring attitude. This study aims to provide the life of every human being through devotional service or offerings in the form of material or non-material that can be beneficial for all human life. This research is qualitative research with a qualitative descriptive analysis method using data collection, such as literature (library) and several references that can support this research. Based on the results of the research, Dravya Yadnya is one of the core Yadnya or the concept of the holy sacrifice that can be given to all human beings in the form of material and non-material sincerely and selflessly.

Bhagavad Gita is also known as “Gitopnisad” incorporates the extract of supreme wisdom in the form of verses in a poetic manner. The spiritual knowledge and the sagacity that has been disseminated to the world through this single scripture are unique and exceptional. It is one of the most popular scriptures that embodies Indian spiritual values and philosophical excellence. Further, it has been a steward of gigantic knowledge not only about the purpose of life, relationships, ethics, and values but also about leadership, management and entrepreneurship. This paper is intended to draw insights into the extracted lessons that are indispensable for the entrepreneurs in the modern business world. An attempt has also been made to bridge the contemporary entrepreneurial skills with the ancient day canonical philosophy. As it is very difficult to understand the Sanskrit language of the scripture, an earnest attempt has also been made to make the subject interesting, easy, and plausible to all.

Full textAbstract:
Spirituality, in Indian Culture, refers to the realization/experience of oneness with all beings of the world. This oneness finds expressed as spirituality at workplace through the dynamism of interconnectedness. The paper deliberates on enriching individual spirituality at workplace through the Karmayoga of the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita is a holistic wisdom that expounds dimensions within an individual, and thereby, having potency leading towards interpersonal and organizational effectiveness. The method of the conceptual paper includes: (a) expounding Karmayoga of the Bhagavad Gita from its spiritual dimension, (b) identifying and presenting the take-away for enriching individual spirituality at workplace, and (c) pointing out the potency of the principle of Karmayoga for individual and organizational development/welfare. The Bhagavad Gita explains the principle of right approach to perform any action (Karmayoga). The principle of Karmayoga provides a paradigm shift in the domain of action, namely, the performance of an action is not based on its result - orientedness, but on the intention/process - orientedness. This understanding of Karmayoga unfolds and enriches a number of variables that characterize individual spirituality at workplace, The paper has identified twenty-five such dynamic variables. Thus, we are able to understand that Karmayoga, in the process of enhancing these factors, enriches individual spirituality at workplace. When we closely observe the potency of the factors that are impacted, we understand that the principle of Karmayoga, in the process of enriching individual spirituality and inter-personal relationships in workplace, also automatically enriches organizational effectiveness. A comprehensive model, reflecting all dimensions of Karmayoga, and its empirical validities would place the principle of Karmayoga as the differentiator in the work culture domain of organizations.

World literary scholars and Turkish scholars analyzed the work of Mahabharata and Ramayana called this work the “Encyclopedia of Ancient Indians” and analyzed the role of heroes as the embodiment of piety, heroism and wisdom of society. Also in the epic of the Mahabharata which describes the bloodshed of two generations includes a religious philosophical poem called “Bhagavad-Gita”. A detailed analysis of the time interval and premises of the Bhagavad-Gita was made. The history of the Bhagavad-Gita, the religious and philosophical ancient Indian memorial written in Sanskrit, takes a huge amount of time.

Full textAbstract:
- This paper will deal with the issue of human rights and multiculturalism away from cultural relativism and universalism while taking inspiration from Nietzsche's Moral Genealogy. In particular, the concepts of karma, dharma and trivarga (an indian traditional form of particularism in the law) will be explained as they are expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most important texts of Indian philosophical literature. From this analysis it will emerge the impossibility of deducing the idea of human rights from the Sanskrit text. Not because the Bhagavad Gita adopts a communitarian conception of the self but because it entails a very complex and interesting idea of freedom which is little compatible with contemporary human rights discourse. Then, it will be quoted a criticism against the Bhagavad Gita based on the historical genealogy of cultural values, as it was formulated by B.R. Ambedkar - Chairman of the Drafting Committee of Indian Constitution. Finally, this writing will highlight some of the misunderstandings revolving around human rights and multiculturalism. This will be done while suggesting a genealogical approach where different intellectual and law traditions challenge and implement each other, rather than being locked in a sterile mutual respect.

When a person’s behavior shows high moral standards, it is called virtue. Man’s behavior can be determined by the virtue he performs. The Tamil word ‘Aram’ is called ‘Dharma’ in vernacular language and as ‘Morality’ or ‘Virtue’ in English. A man’s good deeds are more important than his life. In that case only doing good deeds and helping the needy is important in a person’s life. That is why in Bhagavad Gita, Thirukkural, Thirumantiram, Naladiyar and Purananuru the writers have explained about the benefits a person attains in doing good deeds and shows a person’s life will be destroyed if he has bad qualities. This article is about the moral ideas explained in Bhagavad Gita, the definition for virtue and it tells what will be the nature of person who does good deeds.

In a recent essay the agent provocateur and philosopher Slavoj Žižek remarked that the Bhagavad Gita represented the perfect philosophy for post-capitalist society. By no means the first reaction to this text, this is only the most recent and arguably most controversial understanding of the philosophical content of the Gita, whose previous commentators have ranged from Nietzsche to Hitler. Less controversially, the modern composer Phillip Glass opened his opera Satyagraha with a dramatization of the discourse between Krishna and Arjuna that forms the Gita's content as a plea for a humanist politics. Though the text does not offer limitless possibilities for interpretation, what is certain is that the Gita has acquired an iconic status in modern times as a set of reflections on ethics, war, justice, freedom and action.

This research article deals with the question of himsa and ahimsa mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita. The study has its relevance to understand the Gita’s teaching on himsa and ahimsa. The research problem is that whether the Gita advocates himsa or ahimsa. The research approach (methodology) adopted for this study is the textual analysis of the Gita’s related verses along with the review-based analysis of the views on himsa and ahimsa expressed by the Gita’s commentators Bankim Chandra Chattopdyaya, Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi and Aurobindo Ghosh. The study reveals that the Gita talks about ahimsa while mentioning the good traits of a Godlike person but the text basically focuses on the justified himsa as essential and obligatory in dealing with the evil persons of the imperfect human society.

Some of these teachings will certainly inspire the leaders to change from within and transform their leadership from transactional to transformational and towards transcendental. In presenting this wisdom, the authors have employed hermeneutics, which is a method to interpret ancient texts combined with some qualitative inputs received from leadership seminar participants. This paper is significant for both leadership theory and practice.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of yogic diet is one of the fundamental principles provided by yoga texts for the attainment of well-being. Therefore, the goal of this review was to systematically examine the specificities of yogic diet based on specific verses and how it is classified in several important ancient yogic texts, including the Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP), Gheranda Samhita (GS) and Bhagavad Gita (BG). In the current analysis of the classic texts, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita and Bhagavad Gita shows that diet is discussed in eight, seventeen and six verses of these classical yogic texts respectively. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP) and Gheranda Samhita (GS) mentioned three different food categories: (1) Mitahara, (2) Pathya Ahara, and (3) Apathya Ahara. The Bhagavad Gita (BG) divided the food into three categories: (1) Swattik Ahara, (2) Rajaswik Ahara, and (3) Tamasik Ahara. In conclusion, the overall findings revealed the diverse and distinct perspective on diet in each yoga texts. Future researchers will be able to look at and compare yogic diet with modern dietary classifications and their nutritional properties. By pointing out shortcomings in the current evaluation, researchers can also use resources to conduct more thorough research on compound diets for the next study.
