Was COVID’s Thali Connected to the Bhagavad Gita?

Hindi link : https://studio.youtube.com/video/MnJbxShBtB8/edit During COVID, when India stood together from balconies, windows, and doorways to clap, ring bells, and beat thalis, many people asked—can sound drive away a virus? But the real meaning of that moment was not about defeating the disease through sound. It was about awakening courage, unity, gratitude, and collective morale during a time of fear. In this video, Mahakavya connects the COVID “Thali Bajao” moment with Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Shlokas 12 and 13, where Bhishma Pitamah’s conch-blast awakened the Kaurava army on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Later, Shri Krishna, Arjuna, Bhima, Yudhishthira, Nakula, and Sahadeva also blew their conches—not just as a war signal, but as a message of dharma, courage, and duty. On one side was the battlefield of a pandemic. On the other side was the battlefield of Kurukshetra. On one side were frontline workers. On the other side were warriors. On one side, thalis and bells were sounded. On the other side, conches were blown. The Gita teaches us that in times of crisis, physical strength alone is not enough. Strength of mind is equally important. When morale rises, the struggle begins. This is the timeless message of the Gita: steady your mind, recognize your duty, and stand with courage. #BhagavadGita #Mahakavya #COVIDThali #ThaliBajao #Kurukshetra #Shankhnaad #GitaWisdom #BhishmaPitamah #Krishna #Arjuna #IndianEpics #Dharma #Courage #frontlineworkers BIMAL BANGAR
