Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji. My name is Prashant. I am a PhD first-year student in the Material Engineering Department. So my question is from *Bhagavad Gita,*Chapter 2, Verse number 37.
हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम्। तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चयः॥
Hato vā prāpsyasi svargaṁ jitvā vā bhokṣyase mahīm। Tasmād uttiṣṭha Kaunteya yuddhāya kṛta-niścayaḥ॥
Acharya Prashant: Lovely.
Questioner: So, Shri Krishna is saying to Arjuna, “If you fight, you will either be slain on the battlefield and go to the celestial abodes, or you will gain victory and enjoy the kingdom of earth. Therefore, arise with determination, O son of Kunti, and prepare to fight.”
