    Philosophical Counseling for Nurturing “Philosophical Quotient (PhilQ)”
    (University of North Bengal, 2025) Chopra, Navneet
    We come across a burning controversy among scholars regarding the principal teaching of the Bhagavadgītā. Some scholars think that the principal teaching of the Bhagavadgītā is jñānayoga. All other yogas are just the helping conditions to jñānayoga. Some thinkers argue that karmayoga occupies the central position in the teaching of the Bhagavadgītā and the other yogas are nothing but the auxiliary factors to the same. Philosophers belonging to the third group are of the opinion that the supreme position has been given to the bhaktiyoga in the teaching of the Bhagavadgītā. But scholars of the fourth group agree with none of the three views mentioned. They hold that the principal teaching of the Bhagavadgītā is to establish that the blended path of all the yogas is the best path. I agree with the fourth view. The principal objective of my article is to refute the first three views and ultimately to substantiate the fourth one already mentioned. None of the yogas is subordinate to others. All of the yogas are equally complementary to each other.
