Bhagavad Gita" Ch. 1: Arjun's Dilemma - confusion, indecision, chaos
We have all been in situations where we were confused and didn't know what way to go. How do we know right from wrong, good from bad? Can we be compassionate by not hurting someone else but allowing them to hurt us? Is that real compassion? These are some of the questions that Arjuna is dealing with in this chapter.
Summary of Chapter 1: As the opposing armies stand poised for battle, Arjuna, the mighty warrior, sees his intimate relatives, teachers and friends in both armies ready to fight and sacrifice their lives. Overcome by grief and pity, Arjuna fails in strength, his mind becomes bewildered, and he gives up his determination to fight.
What is the Bhagavad Gita?
The Bhagavad Gita (The Divine Song) was written 3000 BC by Vyasa. It is a discussion between Krishna and Arjuna, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, India.
The Gita is considered by spiritual gurus to be the oldest, wisest and most powerful spiritual teaching in the world. It presents a practical path to enlightenment/awakening/self-realization through union with the divine. It speaks about various processes that lead to spiritual evolution culminating in divine love or bhakti-yoga.
The Gita delves into a wide range of topics including meditation, the soul, reincarnation, karma, God, divine love and so much more.
If you want to learn how to master this human existence and become free from suffering, then this program is meant for you.
I consider the Gita to be the most important instruction for any spiritual seeker. It contains the perfect message to help us deal with the chaos and darkness in our world today. I look forward to you joining us.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
