Spiritual leaders, ignorance and the Bhagavad Gita

In the Bhagavad Gita “when evil lurks, and Dharma is in danger” Vishnu incarnates in Krishna

Reflection by Pedro Nonell (Spiritual leaders, ignorance and Gita).

In Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita on Karma Yoga, we find this beautiful reflection:

In the Bhagavad Gita evil lurks, and Dharma is in danger that is why Vishnu incarnates in Krishna

“What-so-ever a great man does, that other men do; whatever he sets up as the standard, that the world follows” Chapter 3-21 The Yoga of Action (Karma)”

Human history shows us that people need leaders to follow, leaders to guide their path. These leaders can be the great sages like Buddha, Jesus or Sri Krishna, or the great satans, like Hitler or Stalin.

In the Bhagavad Gita “evil lurks, and Dharma is in danger” which is why Vishnu is incarnated in Sri Krishna, who, faced with Arjuna's depression, transmits to him the sacred knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita for the benefit of all humanity.

Bhagavad Gita 4.7-8 When evil increases, the Lord incarnates to restore Dharma

This verse from the Bhagavad Gita is key, the educational philosophy of the Ramakrishna Mission created by Swami Vivekananda is based on these two verses. The educational strategy of our training is also based on these two verses.

Arjuna was a warrior, and his duty was to fight to protect Dharma. Therefore, Sri Krishna urges Arjuna to stand up and fight, and be an example to others.

Given the Spiritual crisis of the West in particular, who leads the West and the World? Are they saints or satans? who “destroys ignorance with the light of knowledge”?.
