Mental Chaos to Clarity: Gita & Vedanta Wisdom with Archana Arun

In this 3rd episode of our Conversation with Archana Arun learn : How do ancient scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta help us navigate modern-day mental health challenges like mood swings, ADHD, Borderline Personality, and Bipolar Disorder?

In this deep and healing conversation, Archana Arun shares how spiritual insight and self-awareness can transform our inner world. We explore the three key functions of the mind — Manas (the emotional mind), Buddhi (the intellect), and Chitta (the memory bank) — and how imbalances in these can affect our well-being. 🌿 Highlighted Shlokas from Bhagavad Gita: 📜 BG 2.64 “But one who controls the mind, and is free from attachment (Raag) and aversion (Dvesh), even while enjoying sensory experiences, attains inner grace.”

रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् | आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति || 2:64|| 📜 BG 2.63 “Anger leads to delusion; delusion leads to the loss of memory; the loss of memory leads to destruction of intellect; and when intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.” क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोह: सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रम: | स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति || 2:63|| We also reflect on the 6 enemies of the mind — Kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha (greed), Moha (attachment), Mada (pride), and Matsarya (jealousy) — and how Gita and Vedantic teachings offer us tools to rise above them.
