Bhagwat Gita helps in Stress Management

अर्जुन उवाच |

दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम् || 28||
सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति 

This Shloka in Bhagwat Gita denotes the stress that Arjun experienced in the battlefield. Arjuna experienced certain symptoms of stress as follows:

Limbs-Quivering, Mouth -Drying up, Whole body-Trembling, Hair-Standing on end, Skin-Burning, Legs- Unable to stand, Mind-Reeling. Such symptoms we also come across in our day-to-day situation also, particularly when we are under stress. All these stress happens due to three types of miseries pertaining to the very cause of stress. THESE ARE

1. Adhibhautika-miseries pertaining to the body and soul

2. Adhidevik- miseries inflicted naturally like natural calamities

3. Adhyatmika-miseries pertaining to the difficulty imposed by society, community, etc.

In business and real life, we come across certain situations where we get disillusioned and in a confused state. All this happens due to a material conception of life and excessive attachment of material things puts a man in a bewildering condition of existence. As like Arjuna decide not to fight due to compassion, fear, loss of enjoyment, we human entities also behave like the same. Now the question arises how can we control stress, so Bhagwat Gita gives tips to control the stress.

1. Be Yourself

2. Engage your senses in good or pious activities

3. Be an integrated personality

4. Read spiritual books and have faith in the Supreme God

5. Do Prayanam and meditation

Most important: Do Perform the duties without results

He sees everything – whether it be pebbles, stones or gold – as the same.A transcendentalist should always engage his body, mind and self in relationship with the Supreme; he should live alone in a secluded place and should always carefully control his mind. He should be free from desires and feelings of possessiveness.To practice yoga, one should go to a secluded place and should lay kuśa grass on the ground and then cover it with a deerskin and a soft cloth. The seat should be neither too high nor too low and should be situated in a sacred place. The yogī should then sit on it very firmly and practice yoga to purify the heart by controlling his mind, sens...

  The Power of Karma Yoga in Real life In Mahabharat, Arjuna was facing the biggest crises and problems although he was trained by the best Guru, he was a valiant Kshatriya and extraordinary person yet he was having doubts,he was confused in life that what is the right course of action. In such situations,the greatness of man lies in whom do we approach when we face a crisis. As in Bhagwata Gita, it is mentioned that Arjuna surrendered to Krishna fully and completely. There and then Krishna told him  the fundamental truth i.e We are not this body but we are the spiritual soul. How can we gain sustained happiness, how can we overcome the miseries of life? Such doubts were cleared by the Supreme Lord. The popular purport of explaining the relevance of Karma Yoga i.e. न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् । कार्यते ह्यवशः कर्म सर्वः प्रकृतिजैर्गुणैः ॥ ५ ॥ na hi kaścit kṣaṇam api jātu tiṣṭhaty akarma-kṛt kāryate hy avaśaḥ karma sarvaḥ prakṛti-jair guṇai Everyone is forced to a...

  Sharad Kumar credits 'Bhagavad Gita' after winning a bronze medal at Tokyo Paralympics..... The Bhagwat Gita is the essence of life. It gives inner motivation to manage all issues of life. The shloka  " धृतराष्ट्र उवाच | धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः | मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय ||1|| This Shloka has in our life the real-time application.  Dhritarashtra was experiencing a dilemma in experiencing the results of the war. He was so excited to know the consequence of the war. Similarly in our life and business, we face dilemmas in our day-to-day life. Moreover, he knew that the battlefield DharamKshetra, the land of Dharma nourish only virtuous conduct.  “Kurukshetra is the sacrificial arena of the celestial gods.” Hence, it was regarded as the sacred land that nourished dharma.  So Dhritasrashtra knew the consequences of bad deeds. Similarly in our real life, we behave like Dhritarashtra and follow non-virtuous conduct. It is said that ...
