The first chapter of the Gita, is commonly overlooked by most authors as simple verses describing Arjuna’s despondency, names of various kings, conch shells etc. However, renowned spiritual master Paramahansa yogananda shows that the apparently simple descriptions of the warring clans are deeply symbolic. For the first time in centuries since the Gita was revealed to humankind, the mysteries in the lines of the Gita are unlocked in an acclaimed work called ‘god talks with Arjuna’ by Paramahansa Yogananda. The following narrative describes the real meanings of the armies posed to war against one another in the Gita. Yoganandaji describes them as the fundamental faculties in the human body and derives their secrets by decrypting the Sanskrit names. He further proclaims that the entire science of yoga and its principles are hidden within the Gita and goes on to demonstrate how Patanjali derived the now world renowned, yogic principles from The Gita and later codified them in his yoga sutras.
