Welcome to Episode 8 of Gita Psychology, where we delve into the profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, uncovering the psychological insights that continue to resonate in our modern lives.

Episode Overview:

In this episode, we explore shlokas 12 and 13 of the Bhagavad Gita, where the tension on the battlefield reaches its peak as Bhishma, the grandsire, blows his conch shell, signaling the beginning of the epic battle. The powerful sound of the conch, followed by the tumultuous noise of drums, trumpets, and other instruments, marks the point of no return for both armies. These shlokas reveal the psychological significance of sound and symbols in evoking emotional responses and uniting a collective force.

Shlokas 12 and 13:तस्य सञ्जनयन्हर्षं कुरुवृद्धः पितामहः | सिंहनादं विनद्योच्चैः शङ्खं दध्मौ प्रतापवान् || 12 ||

"Then, Bhishma, the great valiant grandsire of the Kuru dynasty, blew his conch shell very loudly, making a sound like the roar of a lion, giving Duryodhana great joy."

ततः शङ्खाश्च भेर्यश्च पणवानकगोमुखाः | सहसैवाभ्यहन्यन्त स शब्दस्तुमुलोऽभवत् || 13 ||

"After that, the conchshells, drums, bugles, trumpets, and horns were all suddenly sounded, and the combined sound was tumultuous."
