The bhagavad gita is a major Indian text originally apart of the Mahabharata .The Gita presents an elaborate analysis of the human mind from the context of active living. The Gita narrative is not a telltale story of Arjuna " s depression and his predicament so the bhagavad Gita. Focus is a healthy mind in temporary crisis, which if not solved may deteriorate in to mental, physical and social illness. The transpersonal psychology of the Gita is meant for the humankind of all times. The Gita conceive bhakti, jnana and dhyan as the means to yoga and the fruit of the yoga. The means and goal are envisioned from the point of view of the psychology and temperament of the individual. The sthitapragya is a person of non demanding deviation, who abides in the self. What the Gita envisions is an awareness that is centred around and focused on the self. The technique of karma yoga enunciated by the Gita is such a manner that it will help the cultivation of positive emotions by reducing negative emotions. The negative tendencies of the mind such as frustration, anxiety etc. Keyword-Bhagavad Gita, physiognomy as depression, consciousness and new identity, self knowledge, conflict and wisdom, karma sanyas, work, mental purity and integrity of mind, love and surrender, work is meditation, yoga and happiness. INTRODUCTION:-The Bhagavad-Gita is a major Indian text, originally a part of the Mahabharata, and included in the prasthantreya, the three foundations of classical Indian thought. The Gita present an elaborate analysis of the human mind from the context of a foundational philosophy of active living. The context in which an integral philosophy of life and transformation is told in the Bhagavad-Gita is the battlefield of Kuruksetra. The scene present a division of the kith and kin, friends and well-wishers of one great family dynasty arrayed in opposite sides to fight.
Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’ – so opined William von Humboldt. Though it is a matter of consensus that Bhagvad-Gita in the present length of seven hundred verses has many an interpolation to it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The moot point that has missed the attention of all, all along, is that if the Sudras were to be so lowly in the Lord’s creation, how come then the Gita’s architect Krishna, His avatar, and Vyāsa, its chronicler, happen to be from the same lowly Hindu caste fold. Moreover, is it not absurd to suggest that either or both of them had deprecated the station of their own varna (caste) on their own in their very own Gita? The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here, for the first time ever, puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about this book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. Thus, in the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents. In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verses of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is the Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension. This Vyas's Sanskrit epic in translation is Dedicated to my grandparents, Paternal: Bulusu Thimmaiah -Lakshmi Narasamma, Maternal: Challa Kameswara Rao - Suramma And parents: Peraiah Sastry and Kamakshi, In whose care my destiny so favourably placed me.

The paper begins with an analysis of the word ‘psychology’, involving the triad of soul, mind and behaviour and Gita’s philosophy concerning the same triad and goes on to: the Freudian and post-Freudian models, including the ‘individuation’ theory of Karl Jung and its affinity with Gita; the correlation of the Gita models (of the good, passionate and dull modes, the divine and demoniac attributes etc.) with the models of psychology and science (wave-particle duality model); the need to super-impose models to understand nature – both physical as also spiritual (in relation to the adhyāsa or Error Theory of Shankaracharya); Gita’s integrated roadmap from the practical to the transcendental realms laid across the domains of philosophy, metaphysics, ethics and psychology, involving both the individual and the society; the analyses of Madhusudana Sarasvati and Ananda Giri relating to the successive approach in Gita to explain the Upanishadic aphorism of identity of the self with the absolute – ‘That Thou Art’; Arjuna’s questions on the dialectic of man’s proclivity to sin and on the fickleness of mind, leading to Krishna’s detailed clarifications in terms of the modes, attributes and faiths governing the human nature; how Krishna’s description of the demoniac mind describes the bane of today’s world, where agents of ‘feeble intellect and cruel deeds’ seem to strive for mindless annihilation of the world with weapons of mass destruction – validating the theory of collective consciousness and societal harmony propounded by Carl Jung; and finally, in Gita’s last chapter on the soul’s deliverance, the insights on duties based on one’s nature (svabhāva) and station (svadharma) and the way to attain perfection to be united with the Absolute (Brahman), leading to dispelling of Arjuna’s doubts.

This introduction discusses the nature of bhakti as a particular kind of knowledge. The cognitive nature of bhakti as understood by many of the great religious thinkers of India is often overlooked or ignored in favor of an understanding of bhakti as pure emotion. Even Sankara glosses it as paramarthajnanalaksana. Ramamnuja glosses it as jnana-visesa. This introduction traces the history of the understanding of bhakti as a kind of knowledge. Our (Blazing Sapphire Press's) edition of the Gita to which this introduction belongs comes in three flavors: Sanskrit only, the wonderful metrical translation of C. C. Caleb only, and the bilingual version with both the Sanskrit and the translation of C. C. Caleb. It is available from Amazon all around the world.

Abstract - Individuals have struggled for the comprehensive development of life since ancient times. At that time, the Vedas and the Upanishads were deeply ingrained in the lives of the majority of Indians. Similar to how the Bible did, the Gita became well-known not only in India but also throughout the rest of the world as a moral and spiritual manual for mankind. Since reason is so important to human existence, it is used to analyse a wide variety of worldly phenomena. So, in order to be satisfied with any doctrine, a critical investigation becomes necessary and more urgent. There is no exception in the Bhagavad Gita. Numerous concepts in the text raise complex issues, and the implicit cosmology, metaphysics, pragmatism, epistemology, and spirituality of the Bhagavad Gita have been the focus of this research. The purpose of the current research was to identify the many concepts that the Bhagavad Gita outlines while also critically analysing those concepts to shed light on them. In this article, the significance of the Gita has been addressed in relation to a particular area of positive psychology.Some academics believe that the work has an allegorical significance and has no historical basis, but others believe that the events described in the Gita actually happened as they are described. This study offers a critical examination of this topic in light of many commentators' points of view Psychology and Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita also known as Song of the Lord is a Hindu philosophical sculpture. It is based on a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna that took place at Kurukshetra war. Just like every human being faces dilemma in performing their duties, Arjuna also faced this universal dilemma. To solve this, Gita imparts the knowledge of self and answers the two universal questions, who am I, and how can I lead a happy and peaceful life in this world of dualities. These are also the principles of any basic psychotherapy. The central teaching of the Gita is the attainment of freedom or happiness from the bondage of life by doing one’s duty. Just as Psychotherapy aims to improve an individual’s well-being following self-actualization, The Bhagavad Gita aims at self-enquiry and happiness of the mind and the heart. The purpose of this study is to draw and discuss the parallels between the Gita and the contemporary psychotherapies. Lord Krishna’s teachings had elements of the Cognitive Behav...

When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who mediate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day‖ 1 Abstract: With these words, Gandhi explains the significant role of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to overcome mental stress in crisis situation. As we are aware of the global crisis resulting from the coronavirus pandemic has led to many challenges and hardships for many people. Almost everyone including small children, youths, and senior citizens are impacted in some or the other way. The coronavirus pandemic has greatly affected lot of people, from students to potential employees/ businessmen almost all are mentally puzzled about the current pandemic crisis. Since we know that pandemic is a global problem, so we need a solution to overcome this problem causing mental stress and discomfort in many. Understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita is one of the most significant methods to overcome worries and maintain mental equilibrium. Bhagavad Gita is one of the most significant texts of Hindus. Teachings of Bhagavad Gita are universally applicable and can be easily practiced by the common people. It consists of three main teachings namely-Jnana-yoga, Karmayoga and Bhakti-yoga. 2 According to various schools of Indian philosophical thoughts, there are three main aspects of human beings and these aspects comprises of physical, mental and spiritual aspects. From the psychological point of view, human nature can be perceived as a synthesis of willing, knowing and feeling. In this paper I intend to showcase that the three teachings of Bhagavad Gita must be followed for the holistic development of human character and personality. Understanding teachings of Bhagavad Gita is significant for the stability of the intellect. Broadly speaking human personality is made up of the characteristic patters of thought/knowing, behavior/ willingness and feelings/ emotions. Three components of knowing, willing and feeling are the basic parts of human nature, and the path of knowledge (Jnana-yoga), action (Karma-yoga) and devotion (bhakti yoga) relate to them. This paper is divided into three parts, the first part deals with Jnana-yoga or knowledge path of Bhagavad Gita and its relation to knowing. The second part deals with Karma-yoga or action path of Bhagavad Gita and its relation to willingness and the third part deals with Bhakti-yoga or devotion and its relation to feeling as one of the basic constituent of human nature.
