The Yoga of Arjuna's Despair

The conches have been blown, and now the moment: Arjuna, whose flag bears Hanuman (Kapi-dhvaja—symbol of devotion and divine grace), raises his bow as weapons are about to clash. This isn't just any warrior—it's a dharma warrior backed by blessing, stepping into the threshold. But this verse also marks a transition: the external drama (armies, conches, preparation) is about to give way to internal drama—Arjuna's coming crisis. In life, we face these moments: everything has built to this point, and now you must raise your bow and act. The question is: will you step forward, or freeze at the threshold?
