As today is the auspicious day of Gita Jayanthi, Vaikuntha Ekadashi, let us focus on Bhagawad Gita.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gita_Jayanti
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaikuntha_Ekadashi
There are so many interpretations, learnings,
teachings, perspectives by so many people, devotees, gurus, babas &
researchers throughout the world.
My views are as follows-
From the Psychology perspective, I feel Bhagad
Gita is the first ever form of counselling done in the ancient history of India
by the Supreme Master Psychologist, Lord Shri Krishna to Arjuna, who was under
full of confusion about his roles and responsibilities and was about to quit
the battle field. The Lord Sri Krishna enlightens Arjuna about several aspects of
life, relations and how to deal with all. He makes him feel the responsibility
and fulfill it. Though, it appears to be a one-to-one counselling, it has
become the reference manual for several people. The spiritual intelligence
gained by mastering the principles of Bhagawd Gita has become a basic
foundation of the spiritual gurus and babas for their philosophical and
spiritual discourses (Mass Counselling).
As the solution for every problem in life can
be found in Bhagawad Gita, it has become a usual practice to refer to it in
such difficult situations only. It is almost similar to the kind of negative
perception people used to have about psychology and counselling earlier. But, the
fact is that there is a lot of positive things we can learn from Gita. Gita is
the way of life which all people should know and follow in their daily practice.
The positive psychology offered by Gita gives a proper direction to our lives
so that the Happiness & Peace in life are achieved with higher level of Consciousness.
We can refer to some of the relevant research
literature for understanding the use of Gita in Psychology and Counselling-

Sir....before.. The Indian Oaths Act, 1873, In India, courts have practiced a tradition of having witnesses take oath by the Gita or any other sacred text before giving evidence. It was
believed that a person who swear by the Gita or any other sacred text would "speak the truth,” A law was enacted to abolish these forms of oath in trial courts and enabled witnesses...to give evidence on “solemn affirmation”.
Under section 3
of the Oaths Act, 1969 (Act XLIV of 1969), which is still in force, witnesses can swear by a universal god without referring to any particular religious denomination.
“I do swear in the name of God/solemnly affirm that what I shall state shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” was the format prescribed....

Indian constitution is inspired by Bhagawad Gita... And the ultimate goal of these two holy books to provide the guidelines for humans, one is for ensuring the piousness (Righteousness or moral principles)of the individuals, and the other is for ensuring justice....
