The Concept of Lokasaṅgraha in the Śrīmadbhagavadgītā

The concept of lokasaṅgraha (the welfare and preservation of the world) plays a significant role in the teachings of the Śrīmadbhagavadgītā, where Lord Krishna emphasizes the importance of selfless action for the collective good of society. This paper explores the philosophical implications of lokasaṅgraha as presented in the Gītā, analyzing the verses where Lord Krishna advocates performing one's duties without attachment to the results for the welfare of the world. Through a detailed examinationof the key teachings of the Gītā, this paper demonstrates how the concept of lokasaṅgraha aligns with the notions of selfless action (Karma Yoga), righteous living (Dharma), and spiritual liberation (Mokṣa). It also compares this idea with contemporary interpretations of social responsibility and personal duty, illustrating its enduring relevance in today's world. By integrating traditional Hindu philosophy with modern perspectives, the research underscores how lokasaṅgraha serves as a guide for individual and collective well-being, offering a timeless model for harmonious living.
