Honourable Dr. Karan Singh spoke on the Message of the ‘Bhagwat Gita’ and its relevance in the present scenario of turbulence and turmoil where humans find them vexed in a psychic gap between a past that is gone and an indeterminate future.
Dr. Karan Singh hence emphasized on the eloquent ‘Bhagwat Gita’, the ‘Song of the War’, as the solution to the catastrophe of the contemporary India and rationalised it by highlighting that the Gita is a “Sunghursh Shastra”, unlike other myths and is thus relevant to any situation of conflict even today. He also alluded that the Guru-Shishya relation in the Gita is worth admiration where the driver of the chariot edifies the warrior within the battlefield.
He then quoted that “There’s a power illuminating the whole universe and if you worship that power as a dedication to the divine, then work itself becomes a portal for growth”.
Dr. Karan Singh summarised the Gita as the theory of correct action, a pathway of internal yoga, a gospel of surrender and repeated assurance of divine interventions and concluded his sermon by reciting a verse from it, which says, “Fear not! I am always with you”.
