Krishna is an important figure in Hindu philosophy. He is not only seen as a divine being but also as a wise teacher and guide. In the epic story of the Mahabharata, he serves as the charioteer for Arjuna, a brave warrior. Arjuna faces a serious existential crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where he struggles with doubts and confusion about his duty. As he prepares to fight, he feels torn because he has to battle against his own family, teachers, and friends. This heavy burden of sorrow and compassion makes him question if the war is right and whether he should even fight at all. During this difficult time, Krishna steps in to help Arjuna. He is not just a divine figure; he is a caring mentor who understands Arjuna’s internal conflict. Krishna realizes that Arjuna’s struggle reflects challenges we all experience in life. Through the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, he offers advice that goes beyond the battle, touching on key concepts such as duty, action without attachment and the importance of devotion. The bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu text that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It tells the story of a deep conversation between Arjuna and Krishna just before going into battle. In this conversation, Krishna shares important spiritual wisdom and guidance to help Arjuna deal with his inner struggles and confusion about fighting in the war. It is important to note that the Bhagavad Gita isn’t promoting actual warfare or physical conflict; instead, it uses the battlefield as a metaphor for the inner struggle against the ignorance and moral dilemmas we experience.And just like Arjuna, we all deal with conflicts and tough decisions. Krishna's wisdom for Arjuna; well it's for all of us
