"“Arjuna vishada yoga” or the “Yoga of Arjuna’s Dejection” is the very first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. As the beginning chapter, the Arjuna vishada yoga constructively introduces the setting, the background, the characters and the string of circumstances that eventually led up to the epic battles of what is called the Mahabharata. The chapter explains and gives reasoning to as why and what led to the ultimate revelation of the Bhagavad Gita. With the Pandavas on one side and the Kauravas on the other, the armies prepare themselves for battle. Arjuna the dutiful and fearsome warrior, upon seeing his own family getting ready to fight, bring down and kill their own family, gets deeply sad. Thus, he humbly surrenders to Lord Krishna and seeks for a solution. The sagacity of Bhagavad Gita thus begins."
