The present day world is anxiety ridden and tension torn. People generally ask as to why do dishonest and corrupt prosper while the upright suffer. Many are disheartened at the visible iniquity in life. As a result, the fragile tend to lost faith in religion and the value systems it bestows on humanity. It is often believed that the aggressive prey on the passive. They maneuver to benefit at the expense of others. Yuddistra was as epitome of righteousness and embodiment of passive goodness. Consequently, he and his entire family suffered untold humiliation and excruciation at the hands of his cousin, Prince Dutyodhana who was the perfect picture of malice. Lord Krishna resurrected the true spirit of goodness and righteousness. In this context the epic shows how righteousness, the noblest of all human virtues, combats and wins over spiteful and unjust behaviour. We are now at a crossroad, New India is faced with numerous challenges, global competition and young desires and is fighting to keep its roots intact. It is still a very young and fragile state. Though we have a rich and strong heritage, the manifestations of our desires might be misplaced at times. It is the curiosity of a new creation, with all its unforeseen events, the risks, the hazards it entails, whose goal is certain victory. The approach of this Bhagavad Gita addresses precisely these issues – dilemmas of the young today, how should they handle challenges and the fact that even though the Gita was written centuries ago, how its reachings are relevant in all ages and apply to all aspects of life. An ageless treatise, which is timelessly pertinent.
