Name atleats 3 key messages found in the Bhagavad gita?

Answer 1

1. A person can only do their work (dharma) the best that they can, but they can't control what happens as a result of their actions. Arjuna can let the arrow fly with the best of intention, but has no say as to what happens when the arrow lands.
2. A person needs to do their duty, to fulfill their dharma, even if it means doing something that feels horrible. Arjuna was unwilling to fight against his relatives, although they had perpetrated injustice. But Krishna teaches him that his relatives' deaths are the responsibility of Krishna--they are already dead, but Arjuna must act.
3. Karma yoga is choiceless action. A person comes to a place where there is no choice--the right action happens, there is no "doing" of this action, and there is no "doer" of this action.

Answer 2

1. In your life, you are on your own, even though you may care about people.

2. You have to defend yourself. You can't really be a pacifist.

3. You have to accept your life, and work with it the best you can.

It's been a while since I read the Bhagavad gita, that's the best answers I can give right now.

Answer 3

The only thing that I took away with me from reading the Gita is an understanding that being attached to materialism is not a good thing (did they call it strands?)

I also remember the very beginning when relatives were about to go to battle against eachother I found that to be awful

Isn't this the book that talks about being still as the tau?

Answer 4

In Bhagavad-Gita, worship of different demigods8 or rendering service to them, is not approved. It is stated therein.
“Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship, according to their own nature”.
(Bhagavad-Gita 7:20)

Worship the One and Alone Lord

“Krishna even discouraged his father Nanda Maharaja from worshipping the demigod Indra because he wanted to establish the fact that people need not to worship any demigod. They need only worship the Supreme Lord, because their ultimate goal is to return to the Supreme Lord’s abode”.
(Bhagavad-Gita, Introduction, page 20, 21)9
Krishna Jee had clearly told that gods and goddesses (DEVIS & DEVATAS) are worshipped by those who worship their lust. The pure and the pious will never worship the gods and goddesses, instead they will worship Eishwar or the Holy One, alone.

In the Bhagavad-Gita, worship of different demigods or rendering service to them is not approved (by Eishwar). It is stated in the Seventh Chapter, twentieth Verse:

“ Kamais tais tair hrta-jnanah
prapadyante nya-devotah
tam tam niyamam asthaya
prakrtya niyatah svaya”

“Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.”

Krishna even discouraged his father Nanda Maharaja from worshipping the demigod Indra, because he wanted to establish THE FACT that people need not to worship any demigod. They need only to worship the Supreme Lord, because their ultimate goal is to return to (Real) God’s abode.”
(Bhagavad-Gita, Introduction, Page 20, 21)
