Spiritual Psychology and Mental Well-being through the Lens of the Bhagavad Gita

This paper attempts to relate the teachings of spiritual psychology with mental health, drawing lessons from the Bhagavad Gita-a fundamental text in Indian philosophy. Instead of a historical or religious reading, this study attempts to reread the Gita as a valuable psychological source that throws light on human behavior, emotional resilience, and inner peace. In this research work, an attempt has been made to discover how far the teachings of the Gita can lead real practice and philosophy towards mental well-being. Analyzing core concepts such as dharma (one’s duty), detachment towards results, self-realization, and inner balance gives an idea about how far this ancient scripture can speak to contemporary worries about anxiety, stress, and finding meaning in hard times. The paper contends that the teachings of the Gita are laden not only with philosophical richness but also with practical ways of steering a person’s life. To bridge this gap between Indian spiritual thought and the Western psychological framework, this paper will emphasize how spiritual understanding can subtly enhance and support contemporary treatment through which an individual may be aided in establishing a deeper connection with inner strength, sense of purpose, and sense of meaning.
