Welcome to another episode of our Bhagavad Gita series with Amish and Bhavna!

In this thought-provoking episode of the Bhagavad Gita podcast series, Amish and Bhavna dive deep into Chapter 16, Verse 4—a chapter that explores the divine and demoniac qualities.

This discussion begins with a reflection on what Bhagavad Gita has to say about those who may possess demoniac characteristics as listed in Chapter 16, Verse 4. They have in them- hypocrisy, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance.

They then discuss the term many of us are familiar with today: Whataboutery. 

And is it always wrong?Together, Amish and Bhavna unpack how:

Whataboutery often surfaces during arguments or conflicts, especially in relationships. Instead of sticking to the issue, we tend to shift focus by calling out past actions or hypocrisy.The concept isn't inherently negative—calling out hypocrisy is valid when done with self-awareness.Double standards, arrogance, and blame-shifting are not a virtue and Gita warns us against it. In relationships, self-reflection and fair communication go much further than clever comebacks.

Amish also reflects that Whataboutery can, in some cases, be a valid form of accountability—as long as it's not rooted in double hypocrisy.

Join us as we explore how the ancient wisdom of the Gita remains deeply relevant to modern emotional, social, and moral dilemmas.
