Bhagavad Geetha appears in the sixth book -the Bheeshma Parva of Mahaabhaaratha with eighteen chapters. The Bhagavad Geetha Parva in the Bheeshma Parva starts from section 13 onwards. Sections 13 to 24 deal with the conversation between Sanjaya and King Dhritharaashtra.

Such differences are found in other Scriptures as well like Vedas, Vishnu Puraana etc.Such differences perhaps are due to the fact that these Scriptures are quite ancient and many of these Scriptures were handed down generations after generations only orally and they were written down on palm leaves only after a very long time and many of them were also lost incourse of time.
The entire scripture contains the teachings of Lord Krishna in the form of dialogue between Him and Arjuna, the third among the Paandavas, who was his cousin, friend, brother- in- law and also was of his age. Lord Krishna in this scripture is represented both as Saguna Brahman, the personal God with name, form and qualities (Lord Krishna, the Jeevatman, as the Avataar or incarnation of Lord Naaraayana or Vishnu in human form) and also as Nirguna Brahman, the supreme Universal Consciousness or Soul, the Almighty, that has no name, form, and qualities but is considered as the Absolute Universal Principle or
Better by Atul Gawande, one aspect that caught my attention that makes me want to do something better in my work setting is patient negligent. When you negligent something, although you may not notice it, it is still consider negligent. When Atul spoke about Peter doctor not noticing a tumor in his x-ray, and later Peter development lymphoma (Gawande, 2007), that is consider negligent. Working at an Adult Day Health center, there are many situations that you hear from clients telling one another how they are unhappy about their kids treating them or simply not getting along with his/her kids.

While reading the second part of New Kids Yasmeen and Mohamod stories really resonated with me both for similar reasons. Yasmeen came to American with a complete family, her parents and siblings. Through the course of just one year her entire world has flipped upside-down. She lost both parents at different time and had to take on the role as caretaker for her younger siblings. She did this while also having to attend school.
In the work The Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna struggle with dharma vs karma. which is that he is a warrior and this is his duty to fight in the war, but he will be killing his family members and the fact that he has feeling for the people he is about to kill. The god in the work, Krishna, give him a pretty straight forward answer. Krishna in The Bhagavad-gītā states “you have mourned those not to be mourned the wise do not grieve for those who are gone… there was no time when I was not, nor you, nor these lords around us, and there will never be a time henceforth when we shall not exist.”
Although the text differ in the point of view affecting the author's style. “Black Veil,” came from third person as if the reader knew how everyone felt And “sinners,” is said in second person making
The story of Popol Vuh and the book of Genesis are almost the same. These stories have so much in common you would think they were written by the same person. They also have their differences that help tell them apart. The similarities and differences suggest some things about myths around the world.
The Lord is introduced as ‘the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, who is and who was and who is to come’. Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Among the Jewish rabbis, it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. All creation originated from Him, nothing existed without Him. There was no "before him”, for millions and billions and trillions of unending years God existed and never had a beginning.
In the text it states, ‘ “Who is Nag?” said he. “I am Nag. The great god Brahm put his mark upon all our people when the first cobra spread his hood to keep the sun off Brahm as he slept. Look, and be afraid!” ’ (Kipling, 81).
Some of these differences are related to the differences we learned about in the reading
Artists; Betye Saar, Kara Walker, Michael Ray Charles, and Kerry James Marshall all create art stemming from race and stereotypes, and although their works have the same subject matter, their influences somewhat differ. Betye Saar likes to use characters such as Aunt Jemima, Uncle Tom, and other stereotypes from folk culture, and advertising in her works, and often using collages or assemblages to showcase those works. She once stated that “I’m the type of person who recycles material but I also recycle emotions and feelings.” Kara Walker is known for creating black-and-white silhouette works. Her subjects draw critical attention to the earlier cultural time of the pre-Civil War United States.
However, we did also see that their identities differed-- the gods being more powerful than the mortals, of course. In any case, the indirect and direct interactions between the gods and the mortals in both epics
Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan recounts the event of the Partition of India, which happened in 1947. Set in a fictional village of Mano Majra, the novel aims to depict the cultural and political clash between the Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims and, by following the development of the characters, unveil the moral of humanity. Throughout the novel, Singh portrays the experience of conflict that each character, including Juggut Singh, Iqbal Singh, and Hukum Chand, has to deal with. Based on the characters’ development, Singh’s goal is to present the idea that love always conquers the power of violence and ethnic antagonism. Singh starts off with a description of the Partition and of Mano Majra, a habitat for Sikhs, Hindus, and Muslims.
Whereas, in Genesis God is referred to in third person and his actions, as commands. Stories and characters different, they might contain. The message did not change all that often throughout these texts. As Harrison in Creation of Universe notes, “we begin by turning to the creation myths that might offer insight into the views of earlier societies on the birth and death of the universe.” It is interesting to see scriptures written for different religions through different times contain such similarities in their theme.
Bhagavad Gita is said to have captured the importance of the Vedas. Gita is considered to be dated around 200 CE. The day Bhagavad Gita is narrated is celebrated as Ekadashi.
