As two families fight for who will rule, one of the Pandava brothers, Arjuna, can't bring himself to fight. He wants to fight as a prince, but when he looks out on the battlefield, all he sees are fathers and brothers and sons. He doesn't want to kill any of them. It just so happens that his friend and charioteer is Krishna who is here to answer some of the prince's questions. As well as reveal some fundamental truths of the universe to his human companion. Ah mortals, aren't they adorable?

In a normal religion you can't question it's ethos and works, in Hinduism you can even question a god about his existence.
@@urooz__0 Islam is the most rigid religion. Many Islamic countries punish apostasy with death let even criticism and questioning.
In Islam if you ask the question about the existence of God then they'll send you directly to God. Such a wonderful religion. 😌
@Bhaumik dalits were not those who disbelief atleaast. they were perhaps working professionals
Well yes but actually no
@@krushna4181 so true
There is a famous saying "In your life strive to find two kinds of friends, Krishna, who will not lift a weapon but will still make sure that you will win and Karna who will know you will loose but will still fight beside you."
That is really something hitting. Karan was so powerful holding all skills of Pandavas but still choose to fight with his friend who helped him in his tough time
@@RiteshNEVERUNIFORM his story is actually very tragic , considering the unnecessary hate he got.
@@akilakris7191 yes,you are right
And may be that tragedy is something which makes him more admirable than Pandavas
@@jisnudeepmandal he was better than the Pandavas but sadly he was on the wrong side
I would prefer Lord Krishna any day over Karna
"Those who makes sacrifices to seek pleasures in the afterlife are missguided", let that sink in
That quote just shits on the three abrahamic faiths.
Absolutely. Because if acted that way, we are just being selfish in helping others and doing good things so as to get rewards in the next life. Real character is in doing good things without expecting anything in return.
@@bocoom that's actually targetted at the brahmanas of the time btw. Mahabharata makes it a point to mock yajnas and other ascetic practices of it's time.
Afterlife doesn't exist so they do all righteous stuff
@@shahsadsaadu5817 not just the brahmanas, but every being, including kshatriyas, devas, asuras and everyone else who has ever wished a boon from gods.
I've always been interested in all mythologies; but Indian mythology always has the grandest, most glorious, most uplifting moustaches.

@Master Yoda , like u said, depends on who you ask
@Master Yoda , the characters in Indian mythologies. Hmm, why?
I like his art style
Kauruvas: I have an army
Pandavas: We have a Krishna
morale up
@ not necessarily. If u read the mahabarata completely u understand in the finale that krishna offed everyone with his sudharshan chakra and the entire war was an illusion. And this is mentioned before the epilogue of the epic where the pandavas climb the mountain. Go read the epic bro, it's interesting.
@Jinhyo Lee exactly this also happened.
That's actually the case... Krishna could have finished the battle with his almighty unstoppable Sudarshan chakra in just a blink of an eye ( killing every single mortal present in the battlefield ).....
But he decided not to use weapons but to guide the good over the bad
In the far, far future, one genetically engineered super soldier named after the Latin/Greek name for “north,” hears the name “Kaurava” and starts sweating...
“Spess Muhreens! Prepare the steel rehn... and the metuhl bawxes”
"Now I am become *Death... **_the destroyer of worlds."_*
- Said an wise god and a brilliant scientist.
Oppenheimer is an underappriciated physicist. Especially with how he was treated after the war by his government.
Oppenheimer did say that, but Krishna never said it. The actual quote within the Bhagavad Gita is "If a thousand suns were to blaze forth together in the sky, they would not match the splendor of that great form."
What wisdom and brilliance is there in destroying a world?
@@Bidmartinlo That's not quite the point.
@@Bidmartinlo it was an understanding of what he had contributed to and the the growth of humanity. It was all a sort of apology and a solemn reflection, that's the wisdom.
I was a classics minor and took a year of Sanskrit in undergrad. We read portions of the Gita in its original language. The "destroyer of worlds " line is better translated (and more badass, IMO) as:
"I am the Ruin of Eternity, the World-Devourer."
Better would be "time" . Kaal means time and also death.
Much of the essence of Bhagvadgeeta gets lost in translations. I was confused when all this 'Ive become death' hype around Oppenheimer began, like when did Krishna say that. But then I went back to the original, all doubts were clear.
It's a religious text.
Kalosmi aham is the Sanskrit line. 'time''i am'. Time is a term used not strictly as death but rather all consuming reckoning. Maha kal or Shiva, is time itself that both destroys and heals. It's a careful selection of term. Death is 'mrityu'
@studiouskid1528 in Indian traditions, birth and death are always tied together.
Indian mythology is undoubtedly the grandest of available lore we have available to us.

As a writer, I’ve always wrote stories involving Greek Mythology (because they’re the most used in modern day stories). This did give me inspiration to write my own story and use Indian Gods. It’s always fascinating to learn about more Gods from different places!
As an Hindu, I believe Hindu Mythology makes for Great D&D and Action Games. People just haven't realized the Potential.
one suggestion, have a look at 'mahisasurmardini' where the feminine form of the supreme, dwells in an epic battle.
@@melodicnostalgic3823 yah because most Indians are unnecessarily possessive of the gods that they directly demand ban on any foreign stories involving hindu gods…
@@melodicnostalgic3823 there is way too much in our myth.
Greek mythology has been influenced by vedic gods. Zeus and Ju-piter were adopted from the vedic pantheon and the name of the vedic God is Dyaus-Piter. Dyaus became Zeus. And Dyaus-Piter became Ju-piter. That's just one of the many.

Well, that's what Lord Krishna explains to Arjun.
No matter who you're fighting, the only thing that matters is your right dharma - Krishna
Your right karma (action) should always be your Dharma.
Important side note: While the Gita can be treated as an intro to Advaitha philosophy, the context of the Gita i.e the Mahabharata is very important to understand why Krishna was almost pro-war at this point. Krishna (and the Pandavas plus Draupadi ) were consistently anti-war for much of the epic as they were pushed closer and closer to total annihilation. Without the Mahabharata, the Gita is incomplete. The later volumes post war are a sobering reminder of the cost of war, which people often neglect to understand.
Plus, it’s important to view Hinduism from a pre-Abrahamic lens where Gods are not absolute and flawless and belief in supreme power is not a requirement. It’s a tradition based in philosophy rather than belief.
So true

Beautifully put
Explained very beautifully
Interesting.. do you recommend any sources to understand Hinduism? Other than these two books of course

This episode made me feel better. I was having a crippling anxiety episode just now, and hearing this story just... made me feel like there was nothing to be anxious about. Very nice. Thank you EC.
It's great that you found a story/character that helps you feel more grounded. Perhaps you have stumbled on a means of self-soothing that you can use time and time again. Either way, don't give up friend. If you keep reaching out you will find, on numerous occasions, that you are not alone and that a lot of research has gone into finding solutions for what you are going through. I for one am privileged enough to afford individual therapy but support groups, books, and distress phone lines have been very helpful (cheaper) alternatives. Take care.
@@patrickdallaire5972 Thank you for your sincere words. It's not as 'crippling' as I make it sound, but it does impact my mood and that just ruins the day. There is some good lessons to learn from these near forgotten and foreign ancient stories as I'm sure our ancestors had panic attacks or paranoia induced anxiety episodes that has remained timeless and still just as human even in today's world.
You might appreciate reading the story. It's pretty much a whole entire book of a god saying "chill winst-on".
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels line that I adore.
The first chapter literally describes arjuna's anxiety attack. It's a brilliant piece of literature. I found solace in it. Hope you do too. I would personally recommend 'The Bhagavad gita for daily living' by Eknath Easwaran.
We are (were) all on the same boat. That's why the Bhagavad Geeta came out as guiding star in this vast ocean of uncertainty of Samsara. 🌸 🤗🙂
One thing that makes Hinduism different from any other religion is we believe God is in everything. Because if God created this universe then where did God get all the materials to create this universe? Was there someone else who gave those materials? Then how come there is one god? It gets in a loop. The simple answer is he never created any universe he himself is the universe. And within this supreme universe there are infinte universes born and die. We are just in one of those universes. We can't see that because there is a curtain called "Maya" which means a layer of lie which prevents us from seeing the true form of the universe. This is why Krishna gave Arjuna special eyes to see his true form during Gita.
4:46 so krishna showed him all the higher dimensions. Where time is no longer linear. Space can be contorted. That's why he gave him those divine eyes pr sense that can perceive those 4th, 5th, 10 dimensions. He could see all the deaths and births beforehand as time was no longer flowing in one direction only
My social name is a Portuguese form of Gita (Guita) this scripture is very good and should be more known
It indeed is but not a simple one unfortunately. I've try to read it but a single page is as profound as a brief history of time.

"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
the quote J. Robert Oppenheimer said when he realized how destructible the atomic bomb has become
Yup. He realized that the moment the atomic bomb was fully realized, humanity had truly stepped beyond the realm of simple unnatural construction into that buildings things that were... _truly_ unholy.
Hmong Thamkrabot yes sir
That's actually a bad translation. The word Oppenheimer translates as "death" is actually closer to "time." So Krishna is essentially saying "I am time, and time destroys all things."
Credit where credit is due to Oppenheimer, though; he was reading the Gita in its original Sanskrit, not English. So, A for effort.
Was gonna say that

@@ritaDas-xl4kz he is just giving ideas, not forcing ( even he can't).
I never knew that Hindu gods were so chill
This explanation is very rushed, please read the whole bhagvad gita to understand to true essence
Well that depends on the true nature of them. Here, the pure essence of Krishna is a calm collected attitude. The beauty in observing the universe and just how it works is completely neutral and does not involve any wordly feeling. That's why he is rather calm and composed. But since he is a manifestation who came to preserve the world's righteousness, he also holds great compassion for his friends and fighting for dharma. The version he showed Arjuna (his true form) was proven to be dangerous and frightening to observe because the truest cosmic order of the universe can be the most beautiful thing and the most ruthless occurence at the same time. Because he is time and space, and time can destroy everything. He is birth and he is death.
Krishna is one of the complete Avatars of Mahavishnu (one of the Trinities) so basically God in mortal Human form. Avatars are Gods that are decent to the mortal realms (earth is in the 7th realm) to maintain the balance of Good and evil. Whenever the cosmic equilibrium of good vs evil tilt towards evil Mahavishnu take Avatars.
Krishna through the entire book: 😏
Basically he always used to smile but not this "😏" 😂😂

These guidelines are taught in 9th or 10th grade depending on which board you are studying in. Let me give you some example , Imagine that your grandfather has seen some big event happen in front of his eyes which is not documented and he cannot produce any proof. Then that event will not be considered as history because of lack of proof. That does not mean that even is neccesarily false. SImilarly these epics are not considered as history but for you that should not mean its not true. And proof like the locations mentioned are not even a bit sufficient. Many stories are disaccounted if the proofs are not entirely conclusive and these is some possibility that it can be false despite the proof being true. And defination of mythology is "A body or collection of stories belonging to a people and addressing their origin, history, deities, ancestors, and heroes." and tell me which part of this is not Ramayana and Mahabharat and no where in definition does it say that mythology are not true.
Krishna is actually the incarnation of Vishnu: why he's being reincarnated varies, but there's a story that claimed that he was cursed to be reborn 10 times by Brahma's wife for attending Brahma's rushed wedding (which is another story of itself). Krishna is also known to be Vishnu's best and most badass incarnation because, in that life, he was able to maintain all of his divine powers and still be mortal *at the same time*.

This is exactly when Shiva decides to return and not knowing his father, Ganesha doesn't allow him to enter. Shiva, being the god of wrath and annihilation, is aggravated by this child's challenge. In a fit of rage, he beheads Ganesha. Parvati, hearing the commotion, comes out to see her husband just kill her only son and threatens to curse Shiva unless he returns her son to her. Shiva sends for his minions to look for a replacement head at the earliest before sunset to fix Ganesha but forgets to mention to them to find a fitting neck only from a human. And so they return with a baby elephant's head that fits his neck exactly. Shiva, not seeing any other way to find a neck before dusk, just reattaches the elephant head to Ganesha's body and brings the latter back from dead. And that is how Ganesha got an elephant's head.
@@pyrrhusofepirus8491 The version that I read was a long time ago so I dont remember it entirely not sure if its any closer to the accurate versions, although as someone said above, there are many contradictory sources. It goes like this:
Ganesha's mother went to the bathhouse, instructing him to not allow anyone in. Shortly afterwards, other deities started arriving, demanding to meet her, to which he refused. Whether from not knowing Ganesha or just being arrogant, their arguments escalated into a full blown fight. Soon, more Gods joined in against him, using even their superior weapons. Ganesha fought valiantly, but then either was overwhelmed or got taken by an underhanded tactics, and got decapitated. By then his mother came out from her bath, shocked and heartbroken to find his sons fate. Realizing that boy was right and not wanting to get into her bad side, the other deities decided to find the first thing that can replace his head. So they searched, found an elephant, took its head, and brought Ganesha back to life with the elephant head attached to him.
Like I said, not sure if its one of the popular versions, but definitely feels like something that could fit with Extra Myth's narrative.
Also known as "Krishna spends 700 stanzas dunking on Arjuna".

That seems sarcastic. Overly so.

Correct..Jai shree krishna
Krishna seems like that laid back buddy who is always stoned and is just happy to see you enjoying something he introduced to you.
Krishna is many things. If you read his biography you'll understand. He has engaged in hundreds of battles. He just dislikes laziness. He's alright with providing help but he'll not do someone else's work. The only other person who has some similarities with him in this regard is Odysseus, the friend of Achilles.
bro stay in your limits man
he is not "stoned"

I was asking for a video on Indian mythology from a long time.
Thanks extra credits 😁
"I am become death, the destroyer of the world"
Great video! I really like Hinduism mythology and story, greetings from Balinese Hindu🙏

Krishna was a historical figure
*The reason why Oppenheimer took Bhagavad Gita quite personally was also because it was a sort of rational consolation to himself. He was born with immense intellect and gift of quantum physics, he was a scientist and he belonged to theoretical physics, it was his true nature in universe and naturally his duty(dharma) to show mankind something so destructive, Even though he quoted Vishnu, I believe he really saw himself as Arjun, who was only fulfilling his duty by carrying out the will of god as if the god had already planned it out for nuclear bombs to be the demise of humankind and Oppenheimer was only one of the starting medium to reach that end-result.*
Also, if we draw the parallels, many manyyy soldiers died in Mahabharat but prior to that Arjun already saw them rushing towards their physical death(as the soul is immortal just like the supreme spirit) , Oppenheimer and other scientists also knew how deadly the bomb is going to be and how many are going to die, yet Oppenheimer did not try his best to stop that and let all those people die, later to be viewed in US as the "cost of victory" just like Pandavas who had to kill millions just to ensure victory of Dharma over Adharma (But they lost their own sons and relatives in it too).
"Earth, water, fire, air and SPACE"
Too bad Aang cannot bend the last one.
As well as energy, which was given to him by the Lion Turtle.
The concept of an avatar comes from hinduism to begin with tbh
dont you hear the 3 more
Here, Space is the emptiness that resides within the body. Every body has some empty space within them. From scientific perspective, if you ever see an atom, you’ll notice there’s empty space between them.
Krishna was an avatar too

Krishna was the ultimate GOD, he resides in all. In Hinduism there is one supreme God which the Vedas speak about. Others are Demi gods which are given a human form. Krishna was born in a human body under his own will and under his own maya
No Demigod is an insult, Hinduism has the concept that everything is divine.
@@aryamansaxena4613 Yes! People calling Shiva a demigod need to read up on the scriptures
@@ripinkhanna6075 actually demigod can be applied to devtas and yakshas
But not on brahma vishnu and shiv
@@radhekrishnakijai867 Actually, demigods refer to beings who have a divine parent and an earthly parent. They mostly appear in Greek and Roman stories. In truth, the only beings who can fit this definition in Hinduism are the Pandavas. Hanuman too could have fit this definition, but his mother Anjali is a celestial nymph who was cursed to be a monkey, and hence isn't earthly.
Brahma , Vishnu and shiva are not demigods but have divine essence of Brahman
Brahma is not worshipped
Vishnu and Shiva are the one who are worshipped as they are only one to give salvation
Brahman is ultimate god
Bhagvad Gita is basically Krishna telling Arjun "Stop being a wuss and pick up your sword and FIGHT YOUR BROTEHR, YOUR A WARRIOR (Kshatriya), why am I right, I'm the Universe"
Also this is not what I ever expected Krishna as, since what I think of Krishna is K-Pop level handsomeness, hunking man, and all girls fall because that's basically Krishna
K-pop level handsomeness 😂😂😂

It's not really mythology.. it's more of a philosophy book.. Mahabharata is the Mythology.. Bhagavad Gita is just a conversation, how is that a mythology?
4:25 is this where the Oppenheimer quote "i am become death, destroyer of worlds" is from?
Yes
Yes. But Oppenheimer actually used a mistranlation. What Krishna actually says is "I am now Time, the destroyer of worlds"
Essentially saying that time will eventually kill everyone anyways, so Arjuna should continue the war.
The true word used in Gita I think is 'kaal' काल, which literally means time but can also be a synonym for death/annihilation.
But I think time here suits a lot more.
@@KishoreG2396 In vedant, Time and death are same thing, so it was not misinterpretation
Bhagwad Gita and Ramayana are civilization texts for Indians
Yes, They should be called Epics, Just like Greek Illiad and Odyssey.
Play Raji: An Ancient Epic. It’s chock full of juicy Hindu mythology. It’s a bargain for you, not being a AAA title it’s only $20. Support indie developers
We Balinese Hindu pretty much believe that Krishna is a manifestation (not reincarnation) of Visnu and in the past there was nine other manifestation of Visnu that came to save the world when it needed (Budha is also included in the gang) they called Avatara. We also believe there will be the 11th avatara to come and save the world someday.
The real one is more like there will be 10th avatara 'kali' who will be the destroyer of everything!
Bhagavad-Gita is not mythology, it's an epic!

Two characters in Mahabharata I find brilliant are "Bhism" and "Karan"
Full on principles, sacrifice, morality, righteous duty,karma,vow,honesty,loyalty and many more.
Both have stories that can be lessons to humans.
Bhishma and karna, not bhism and karan
@@SummusPrinceps they can be written both ways, in hindi they are pronounced as karn and bhism. English speakers might find it difficult so we add an A at the end.
@@jaideepmahapatra5933 In sanskrit they are pronounced with a soft a at the end, so it is more accurate if you are following sanskrit.
@@jaideepmahapatra5933there is the a sound in Sanskrit. Hindi is not accurate
Karna? Really ? Krishna says he is evil therefore he should be killed with duryodhana, dishashan and shakuni. Only after Earth drinks their blood dharma can be established.
its not mythology, its our history.
The evident swagger and smirk on Krishna's face are pretty hilarious! A minor correction: Arjun was an ace archer unlike the swordsman shown here. Kudos for the video.
Historically accurate representation though

As a Hindu myself, the representation of the Bhagavad Gita is pretty nice and concise. Apart from Arjuna being an archer and not a swordsman lol
Yea, a bow and quiver would have been cool
@extra credits
Arjuna was a Archer. Not a swordsman. He never jump off to fight, he was a sharp shooter.
Thank you
read the books, all 5 brothers were trained in each if the weapons. In battle Bhim is also using Bow and arrows.
@@samahirrao You are absolutely right, however I feel that since this is being introduced in this channel, it would have been nice to portray Arjuna with is iconic celestial bow.
Lil Moonmoon nice try, but how sure of you that Archer class are made of archers.
But my friend, Arjun was also an expert swordsman, able to weild the sword just as good with both hands!

Arjuna was an archer like Hawkeye who never missed a shot and not a swordsman, here he is showed with a sword and shield.
Hawkeye is a joke in front of Arjuna

Well-researched and balanced. Using this as an intro for my first-year humanities students reading the Gita!
Why do we refer to Hinduism as mythology but Christianity and Judaism we don’t.
I wonder the same, is the christian god more real than any of the Greek gods? No. It's just people who give myths validity
I used to say "christian mythology" as a kid to a christian friend of mine. He met my 2 decades later to tell me that he used to feel offended when I said it but was now an atheist
This is not mythology. It's our history
I think the end of the battle is a more interesting tale for Arjuna and his hero companions. Because the leader of the opposition is also an enlightened ruler who is also following his Darma. Arjuna and his companions are fated to journey through hell (underworld) before joining heaven
The ruler you refer to , Karna , was a great ruler and a charitable man but every time his " best friend" duryodhan did anything wrong he would just stand there quite . In mahabharata both sides are in the wrong but one more than the other.
If mahabharat is mythology then how dwaraka palace is lyings in Gujrat sea...😂😂😂
To anyone talking about the caste system: in the Bhagavad gita Krishna states that an enlightened one views all beings equally, the caste system was introduced by the Spanish the system Krishna refers to is based on a persons skill, ability, and calling in life. It is NOT a system where one group is above another, nor that was based on someone’s birth. that was introduced by European colonialism and the laws of Manu
