Asana

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Your enemies will speak unspeakable words, mocking your capability—what could be more painful than hearing your very strength become the subject of their scorn?

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

When both outcomes—death and victory—lead to glory, the only failure is not to act at all.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Be the still point around which success and failure revolve—this equanimity is not cold detachment but the warm stability of one who has found ground deeper than circumstances can shake.

Mahabharata, Sabha Parva

When Draupadi completely surrendered to Krishna during her disrobing, he miraculously protected her with an endless sari. Complete surrender brings complete protection.

Mahabharata

The only Kaurava brother who stood up against Draupadi disrobing, questioning the legality of the bet. Despite being on the losing side, he chose dharma over family loyalty.

Draupadi & Krishna

Complete surrender to the Divine brings complete protection. As long as we hold to our own efforts, we limit divine intervention. When we truly let go and call with pure faith, the infinite responds with infinite grace.

Draupadi & Bhima

Symbolic acts of grief must eventually end for life to continue. Justice doesn't heal trauma—it closes a chapter. Being the consequence of someone's crime is different from being a monster.
