first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, after 18 chapters, the first chapter, it just sets the stage.

Arjuna says, for these reasons, I shall not fight the war.

Though he had come there to fight the war, now he says, I won't.

I want to quit.

And the second chapter onwards, the teaching starts.

after, from the 10th word onwards of the second chapter.

So, in fact, if you look at Shankaracharya's commentary,

Adi Shankarachar's commentary, that starts with the 10th verse of the second chapter.

He does not deal with the first chapter, with the first 10 verses of the second chapter.

After the 10th verse of the second chapter, directly when Sri Krishna starts teaching, he

starts his commentary. But we'll start with the second chapter itself.

The first chapter, each of the chapters has a name and each of the names ends with yoga.

So for example, second chapter is Sankhya yoga.

The first chapter is called Arjuna Vishada Yoga.

The yoga of Arjuna's depression.

Depression yoga is a way I'm sure it's not a yoga you've heard of.

You've heard of all different kinds of yoga.

Remember, this yoga is, by yoga we mean here a spiritual path, not downward dog.

Not the yoga postures in the ascent.'s also a path but that's the physical part

part of it. This is a spiritual path and various paths of spiritual development are taught by

Krishna to Arjuna. 18 chapters each of them is called a but it does not mean there are 18 yogas.
