The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian scripture, offers profound insights into life, duty, and spirituality. While not explicitly a manual for worldly success, its teachings provide a philosophical framework for achieving fulfillment and purpose. The core concept of the Gita, Dharma is often misinterpreted as mere duty. However, it signifies one’s purpose, role, and responsibilities in life. Fulfilling one’s Dharma is the foundation of success. While the Bhagavad Gita primarily focuses on spiritual growth, its teachings can be applied to achieve success in various areas of life. By understanding and incorporating these principles, individuals can develop a strong foundation for a fulfilling and purposeful life.
