18 Chapters or 18 Yogas? | Gita Moment

The Bhagavad Gītā consists of 18 chapters symbolising the 18 days of the Mahābhārata war — the war, which is a metaphor of the conflict within us. But the 18 parts of Bhagavad Gītā are more than chapters: they are yogas. It is a very distinctive feature of the Gītā which makes it stand out from other Hindu scriptures. Each chapter is not just called a chapter or a division, but a yoga. This subtle hint makes it clear that Bhagavad Gītā has much more depth in it than what we can see at first glance — and that to understand its true meaning we need to learn how to read between the lines.
