The Bhagavad Gita Series · Episode 8

What is Karma? How Do You Break the Karmic Trap

24 February 2025 · With Bhavna Roy

Join Amish Tripathi and Bhavna Roy in the eighth episode of their Bhagavad Gita series as they explore Chapter 3, Verse 35, a profound teaching on Karma Yog—the Yoga of Action. Lord Krishna emphasizes that it is better to fulfill one’s own duty, even imperfectly, than to follow the path of another’s duty. Amish and Bhavna delve into historical and fictional examples, from the Nazis during the Holocaust claiming to “just follow orders” to characters like Parvateshwar from the Shiva Trilogy and Kattappa from Baahubali. They discuss how simply obeying orders is not enough—one must also ensure their actions align with righteous dharma. Gain timeless insights into the balance between duty and morality in this thought-provoking episode.
