Stress Management and the Bhagavad Gita: Timeless Insights for Contemporary Well-being

The Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu text that forms part of the Mahabharata, is widely regarded not just as a spiritual scripture but also as a profound psychological guide. Written over 2,000 years ago, the Gita addresses the complexities of life, presenting invaluable lessons on how to manage stress, emotional turmoil, and mental health challenges. In the modern world, where stress has become a prevalent concern, the Gita's teachings provide timeless wisdom to cope with stress in a healthy and balanced way. Through the dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, the Gita offers deep insights into how we can navigate life’s challenges, maintain emotional equilibrium, and achieve mental peace, making it a powerful tool for stress management.
