Bhagavad Gita: Significant Changes In My Life

The author writes how the Bhagavad Gita is changing this life and how a healthy level of doubt is necessary and alright.

I’ve been reading the Bhagavad Gita and I already see changes in my life.

Bhagavad Gita : Story Time

I recently started cooking lunch and dinner. 

Earlier me and my sister used to order lunch and dinner from restaurants.

But now I cook them.

Although I order the curry and side dishes, I prepare the main staple dish.

I cook rice or rotis. And order vegetable or chicken curry.

And I also know that my psychiatric medication has a big part to play in this.

But I also think the Bhagavad Gita definitely has a part in causing these changes in my life.

I feel more grounded and am sleeping better.

I’m having less problems waking up early or sleeping early.

Religion

The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture. But I’m not a Hindu, I’m an Adivasi(Saridharam- truth religion).

But I find that reading the Bhagavad Gita helps me a lot.

I can relate to Arjuna from Chapter 1 itself.

Doubts

Sometimes I doubt if indeed the Gita is the word of God. Or whether Gita is true.

And I think it is good to doubt to some extent.

I don’t need to have blind faith. I need to challenge the Gita and experience its truths for myself in real life.

Conclusion

I need to treat it as a manual but the real realisation would only be possible if I act and actually “assemble the parts” or “attain spiritual realisation” or “moksh” by following it.

So yeah I’m reading the Bhagavad Gita and this journey never ends because unless one attains “moksh”, there’s no stopping.

Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.

How To Change Your Life?

Recently I went to Gangtok to enjoy the tourist sites there with the family. And I felt very motivated and refreshed from my experiences in Gangtok.

I met many people, watched amazing sceneries, and experienced many things.

When I returned home to Howrah, I started exercising every day and eating healthy. And my life changed.

Literally. I no longer felt negative emotions or socially anxious.

But since my exams began. I have been avoiding exercising and eating healthy.

So, I am trying to weave in those healthy habits in my life again.

But the point I am trying to make here is the importance of healthy habits and travelling.

I have decided that I will travel more, and I will exercise every day.

That’s what I wanted to share with you in this video.

By the way if you don’t know me, I am Anirban a 23-year-old man from India, and this is my personal blog where I share my thoughts on my mental health, spirituality, and racism.

Thank you for reading this 176-word blog post. I know it should be 300 words for google to rank me but who cares.

Let me know-

What are some things that help you change your life?
