Training: Bhagavad Gita Course - Karma Yoga Course - Master in Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita begins with Dharma.
It is a protective word. By using it first, Veda Vyasa gives a beneficial opening to his great work.
“Dhritirashtra say: Having assembled on the sacred plain of Kurukshetra—the land of Dharma—with the desire to engage in battle, what did my people and the Pandavas do?? O Sanjaya!” Bhagavad Gita 1.1 Arjuna’s Despondency
“धृतराष्ट्र उवाच |
धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः |
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय ||1||”. The Yoga of Arjuna’s Despondency (Arjuna Vishada Yoga).
dhṛitarāśhtra uvācha
dharma-kṣhetre kuru-kṣhetre samavetā yuyutsavaḥ
māmakāḥ pāṇḍavāśhchaiva kimakurvata sañjaya.
The Lord is the embodiment of Dharma.
Yoga of Knowledge and Renunciation of Action
Reverence for Dharma, even through the utterance of its name, is regarded as worship of the Lord Himself. The goal of the Bhagavad Gita and its central teaching are rooted in this very concept: Dharma. From time to time, the Lord(God, the Great Soul, Brahman, Sat-Chit-Ananda, the Higher Intelligence, or whatever you want to call it) incarnates to uphold and establish Dharma.
