From the movie Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016) where during the Iraq war, US Staff Sergeant Virgil ‘Shroom’ Breem (Vin Diesel) quotes Bhagavad-Gita to Private Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn).
He discusses karma and quotes Krishna (divinity) as he spoke to the great warrior Arjuna, while also serving as Arjuna’s chariot driver. Krishna was trying to encourage Arjuna to fight in the great battle by showing him the greater vision of divinity at play in this battle, which would enable him to uphold Dharma and overcome his inner emotional turmoil and fears to go further into battle, even by himself, to win for Dharma.
This is why understanding the Bhagavad-Gita helps to overcome our inner battles, to then unleash with a strong focus to achieve our goals against all the odds, and then to contribute to the flowering of Sanatan Dharma-Hinduism across the whole world to freedom.
