The Chief Minister said that the Holy Scripture Gita has its own spiritual aura and if we remain associated with this then certainly, we would not indulge in any wrongdoings in our lives and will always get inspiration to do good work and hence our life will become pure.

  • Gita Seminar 6
    SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT 4 Internaonal Seminar Universal Welfare and the Eternal Philosophy of Bhagavad Gita December 3‐5, 2019 Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Haryana (India) Universal Welfare and the Eternal Philosophy of Bhagavad Gita Theme Background Shrimad Bhagavad-Gita forms a unique portion of the epic Mahabharata whose study has enraptured generations of men and women. Kurukshetra, the land of this great epic and the land of Gita fascinates historians, researchers, ascetics, tourists and common man alike to visit this place and sense the vibes of the eternal message of Lord Krishna. Bhagavad gita deals with the subtle and recondite details of ethics and metaphysics relating them at the same time to the most fundamental aspirations of man. This is not done by means of any abstract disquisition, but by selecting a specific situation involving a moral dilemma and pointing out how it can be overcome. This concrete mode of treatment has made its appeal universal, which led to numerous commentaries, interpretations and translations in almost all languages of the world. At the outset, Arjuna resolves to renounce the world and withdraw from the battle. He fails to realize that his decision has put the fate of righteousness at stake. At this time of utter confusion, Lord Krishna gives the message of Gita which is of utmost value for this universe. He preaches that one is bound to work for the cause of wider entity to work for no profit to oneself especially when one is in a responsible position. Thus Gita is not restricted in its application to a particular sitution; its message is eternal and for universal welfare leading us not to individuality but to comprehensiveness through a deep sense of duty.
