Abstract
This research paper studies\r\nthe profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, an important text of Vedic\r\nliterature, to understand the concepts of World Peace and Harmony. In Vedic\r\nculture and scriptures, the concept of World Peace and Harmony is a significant\r\nand timeless principle. The Bhagavad Gita, embedded in the epic narrative of\r\nthe Mahabharata, is presented as a dialogue between Arjuna and his charioteer\r\nand spiritual guide, Lord Krishna, offering philosophical and spiritual\r\nguidance. This paper attempts to understand, how the teachings of the Gita\r\ntranscend their historical boundaries to provide timeless wisdom for peace and\r\nharmony in the context of modern global challenges. Although the teachings of\r\nthe Bhagavad Gita are rooted in a specific historical era and provide details\r\nof a historical and cultural backgrounds, they remain relevant to the quest for\r\nmodern world peace.
A significant part of\r\nthis research paper presents a unique perspective by analyzing the key\r\nteachings of the Bhagavad Gita related to peace and harmony. These include the\r\nconcepts of Dharma (righteous duty), Karma (action without attachment to\r\nresults) and Yoga (the path of spiritual practice). Through this paper, we will\r\nexplore how these principles promote personal inner peace, how self-knowledge\r\nand self-control serve as keys to harmony, which is essential for achieving\r\nbroader world peace. Although these teachings are ancient, they hold profound\r\nrelevance in addressing contemporary global challenges such as modern\r\nconflicts, environmental crises and social imbalances and in promoting a\r\npeaceful environment.
The principles of peace\r\nand harmony described in the Vedic scriptures, especially the Srimad Bhagavad\r\nGita, provide guidance for humanity from the individual level to the global\r\nlevel. This research paper analyzes the importance of these principles in the\r\ndirection of world peace.
