30 अप्रैल को रिकॉर्डेड 1 मई को प्रसारित पश्चिम बंगाल चुनाव के परिणाम के बारे में सुरजीत दासगुप्ता का अनुमान

In this inaugural episode of the Swadharma Gita series, we enter the sacred dialogue of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita with its opening shloka:

"धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः।
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत सञ्जय॥ १-१॥"

Young Swaryuv Trivedi invokes the verse through precise and meditative chanting, followed by an in-depth exposition by yoga acharya Nilay Trivedi.

Set against the backdrop of Kurukshetra — the field of dharma and human conflict — this verse introduces the psychological and spiritual landscape of the Mahabharata war. King Dhritarashtra, blind not only in sight but in discernment, seeks to understand the unfolding events, while Sanjaya, endowed with divya-drishti, narrates the reality beyond ordinary perception.

This episode explores:
• The deeper meaning of “Dharmakshetra”
• The symbolic significance of Kurukshetra as the inner battlefield
• The tension between attachment and righteousness
• The role of divine insight in perceiving truth

This series is designed as a systematic, shloka-by-shloka journey into the philosophical essence of the Gita — blending traditional chanting with reflective analysis.

In this one-hour-long conversation with journalist Amit Kumar, Surajit Dasgupta — founder-editor of Swadharma — analyses the historic 2026 West Bengal Assembly election result, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party secured a massive mandate of 207 out of 294 seats.

The discussion goes far beyond electoral arithmetic. It examines the long historical evolution of Bengal’s political and cultural mindset, the collapse of the ruling establishment, the controversies surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the impact of post-poll violence after 2021, and the eventual resurgence of the BJP organisation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The podcast also explores the future of West Bengal under the new government — including expected administrative, economic and cultural changes in the years ahead.

This is not a slogan-driven debate, but an extensive political and civilisational analysis of one of the most consequential elections in modern Indian history.

In this fourth episode of the Gita series on Swadharma, the atmosphere of Kurukshetra becomes more intense as Duryodhana evaluates the strength of the two armies and issues a striking instruction to protect Bhishma above all.

Young Swaryuv Trivedi chants Chapter 1, Shlokas 10–12 of the SrimadBhagavadGita, after which yoga acharya Nilay Trivedi offers a detailed exposition of their historical, philosophical and psychological significance.

These verses mark a subtle but important turning point. Duryodhana compares the strength of the Kaurava and Pandava armies, reveals his state of mind before the battle, and calls upon his warriors to defend Bhishma. In response, the grandsire of the Kurus lets out a lion-like roar and blows his conch, igniting the spirit of the battlefield.

This episode explores:
• What Duryodhana truly means when comparing the two armies
• Why Bhishma becomes the centre of protection
• The symbolism of Bhishma’s conch-blast
• Leadership, confidence and concealed anxiety before conflict
• The spiritual meaning of sound, resolve and duty in the Gita

The Swadharma Gita series continues its systematic journey through THE GITA — combining traditional Sanskrit chanting with contemplative exposition rooted in Sanatana Dharma.

In this fifth episode of the Swadharma Gita series, the sacred drama of Kurukshetra enters a new phase as the battlefield erupts with the sound of conches, drums and war instruments, announcing not merely the beginning of conflict but the revelation of inner resolve and destiny.

Young Swaryuv Trivedi chants Chapter 1, Shlokas 13–16 of the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita, after which yoga acharya Nilay Trivedi explains their deeper historical, symbolic and spiritual significance.

As the Kaurava camp resounds with martial noise, the focus gradually shifts to the Pandava side. Seated upon a magnificent chariot drawn by white horses, Madhava (Sri Krishna) and Arjuna sound their divine conches. Soon, Bhima, Yudhishthira, Nakula and Sahadeva join them, each conch carrying a name and a meaning of its own.

These verses are not merely descriptions of war preparations; they reveal identity, purpose, courage and the spiritual force that precedes action.

This episode explores:
• The symbolic meaning of the great conch-blasts
• Why Krishna and Arjuna’s appearance marks a turning point
• The significance of Panchajanya, Devadatta, Paundra and other conches
• The spiritual meaning of sound in the Hindu tradition
• The contrast between outer noise and inner conviction

West Bengal’s decision to hand over school mid-day meals to ISKCON has triggered outrage, arguments and endless social media debate. But beneath the slogans lies a question almost nobody is asking.

If children were already not receiving meals regularly, what exactly was being defended?

In this podcast, Surajit Dasgupta looks beyond the egg-versus-vegetarian argument. He examines the deeper issues: participation collapse, hygiene concerns, delivery failures, the logic behind centralised kitchens, and what the original purpose of the school meal scheme was meant to be.

This is not the version of the story dominating timelines.

Watch till the end and decide for yourself.

In this sixth episode of the Swadharma Gita series, the silence before battle finally breaks.

Young Swaryuv Trivedi chants Chapter 1, Shlokas 17–19 of the SrimadBhagavadGita, followed by a detailed Hindi exposition by yoga acharya Nilay Trivedi.

After Krishna, Arjuna and the leading Pandavas sound their conches, more great warriors join in — Shikhandi, Dhrishtadyumna, Virata, Satyaki, Drupada, the sons of Draupadi and Abhimanyu. One after another, their conches resound across Kurukshetra.

But then comes a remarkable statement.

The thunderous sound does not merely fill the sky and the earth — it pierces the hearts of the sons of Dhritarashtra.

Why? Was this fear? Was it the force of righteousness? Was it the realisation that strength alone does not decide history?

This episode explores:
• Why the sound of the Pandava conches unsettled the Kaurava camp
• The symbolic meaning of collective resolve
• The warriors introduced in these verses and their significance
• The spiritual dimension of sound in the Gita
• The difference between numerical strength and inner conviction

These verses move the Gita from military preparation to psychological revelation.

The Swadharma Gita series continues its systematic journey through the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita through Sanskrit chanting and reflective exposition rooted in Sanatana Dharma.

🙏 New Episode: Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita Series (in Hindi)

The conches have sounded. The war is about to begin.

Yet Arjuna asks Sri Krishna to halt the chariot between the two armies.

Why does he make this request? This seemingly simple moment changes the course of the Mahabharata and opens the door to the timeless wisdom of the Gita.

🕉 New Episode | Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita

Krishna honoured Arjuna's request to place the chariot between the two armies. But He made a deliberate choice: He halted before Bhishma and Dronacharya.

Why there?

Those few moments transformed a warrior's confidence into deep introspection and prepared the ground for one of humanity's greatest spiritual dialogues—the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita.

In this episode, young Swaryuv Trivedi chants Chapter 1, Shlokas 24–25, and Yogacharya Nilay Trivedi explains their historical, psychological and spiritual significance in lucid Hindi.

🕉 When a warrior sees his family in the enemy ranks

The battle of Kurukshetra is about to begin.

Arjuna has his weapons. The two armies stand before him.

But then he sees Bhishma, Dronacharya, brothers, sons, friends and relatives among those he is expected to fight.

Is this the beginning of Arjuna's crisis—or the beginning of his search for wisdom?

In the latest episode of the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita series, Swaryuv Trivedi chants Shlokas 26–28, and Yogacharya Nilay Trivedi explains their deeper significance in Hindi.

🕉 Can an ordinary everyday experience unlock the meaning of the Bhagavad Gita?

Arjuna's body trembles. His mouth goes dry. The Gandiva slips from his hand.

Most readers know what happens in these verses. Far fewer understand why.

In this episode, Yogacharya Nilay Trivedi explains Shlokas 28–30 in simple Hindi, using a familiar real-life situation to illuminate the Gita's teaching on attachment (moha)—without sacrificing its philosophical depth.

Young Swaryuv Trivedi begins the episode with the Sanskrit chanting of the shlokas.

🕉 What Is Victory Worth Without Those You Love?

Arjuna has reached a strange point.

The kingdom he once fought to win no longer attracts him. Neither victory nor pleasure seems desirable.

His reason?

Those for whom he wanted the kingdom are standing before him, ready to die.

In Shlokas 32–33, the Gita presents a remarkably human dilemma: if the people who give our achievements meaning are gone, what is the value of the achievement itself?

In this episode, Swaryuv Trivedi chants the Sanskrit shlokas and Yogacharya Nilay Trivedi explains their deeper significance in lucid Hindi, using relatable situations to connect the ancient text with contemporary life.

Why does India sing only the first two stanzas of Vandemataram?

The answer is more complicated than the current political controversy suggests.

Surajit Dasgupta has gone back beyond the origins of the debate. It’s older than the 1937 Congress resolution.

🙏 A new episode of the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita series

If the enemy is an ātātāyi, can killing him still be a sin?

Arjuna himself accepts that the Kauravas are ātātāyi. Yet he tells Krishna that killing them would bring pāpa upon the Pandavas.

What exactly is an ātātāyi? Why does Arjuna still hesitate? And where does dharma end and moha begin?

In this episode, Swaryuv Trivedi chants Shloka 1.36, followed by Yogacharya Nilay Trivedi's lucid Hindi explanation, including the traditional sixfold classification of ātātāyi.
