In this episode, we will discuss:

1. What is Bhagavad Gita? We will give you a brief introduction to the Gita. 
2. Who is Krishna? We will discuss if we need to see Krishna as God to understand Gita. 

Bonus: We will discuss Star Wars and how Anakin/Luke Skywalkers face similar situations in Star Wars as Arjuna, the central character of the Bhagavad Gita. And do not miss our story from the movie Avatar. 

Summary of the episode:

Is Bhagavad Gita for Hindus only? Or for Krishna’s devotees, yogis, or elderly people? Is Gita all about one message, which is, do your duty? Is Gita all about praying, and chanting? Is it a war manual? Does it advocate war? No, no, and no!

Was Krishna a yoga teacher or a brilliant strategist? Or a life coach or a business leader? Or a philosopher or a behavioral scientist? Or did he even exist?

Do we need to believe Krishna as God to understand verses of the Bhagavad Gita? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

In fact, we might make many Krishna’s devotees uncomfortable because, at no point, we will preach Krishna as God.  Instead, our focus is to promote mindful living and mental well-being; and how we can be successful in life by following some of these practical teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
