    In this episode of A Woman's Gita, hosts Nischala Joy Devi and Kamala Rose explore the profound paradox within the Bhagavad Gita—the tension between the violent backdrop of war and the yogic principle of ahimsa, or non-violence.

    Main topics include:

    • The emotional and moral crisis of Arjuna during the Mahabharata war
    • Arjuna's internal conflict as a Kshatriya warrior torn between duty and non-violence
    • The relevance of Arjuna's struggle for spiritual seekers in the modern world
    • The concept of the "dark night of the soul" and its transformative power
    • Navigating violence, compassion, and personal responsibility through the teachings of the Gita
    • Practical insights on balancing ahimsa with real-world complexities
    • Using despair as a catalyst for spiritual growth and resilience
