Arjuna’s Crisis

Abstract

The article “Arjuna’s Crisis” by Antonio T. de Nicolas presents a philosophical exploration of Arjuna’s existential dilemma in the opening chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā. De Nicolas frames Arjuna’s internal struggle not merely as a moral hesitation but as a symbolic crisis of identity and action. Through this, the article underscores how the Gītā guides readers from an ego-centered perception of self to a more integrated, transcendent consciousness grounded in embodied experience and sound.
