At Kurukshetra, Arjuna engages his friend and charioteer, Lord Krishna, in dialogue, asking numerous crucial questions that press upon his mind and heart as he faces his kinsmen and teachers whom he is to kill in battle. Swami Bodhananda has selected five of Arjuna's most significant questions which thread through the Bhagavad Gita. Arjuna's questions are similar to those we might ask as we engage in meaningful interaction and face conflicting values. Like Arjuna, we argue, resist, run away, and make excuses — collapsing and falling short in responding to life's crises. But what if we acquired a unique type of knowledge that would form a foundation both transcending and encompassing all of life's dilemmas, serving as a broad basis for our decision-making? Swami Bodhananda illuminates Lord Krishna's Responses, which provide both solace and wisdom for our personal struggles in a demanding and relentlessly changing modern world.
