Listen "Oppenheimer, Bhagavad Gita & the Ethics of Power – Luxury Unplugged Podcast with Neeti Keswani"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful episode of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast, Neeti Keswani – Business Storytelling Coach, Ho’oponopono Practitioner, and bestselling author of Live Your Dreams – explores the fascinating intersection of science, spirituality, and social responsibility through the lens of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.The episode begins with the iconic moment from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 32 – "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" – as Lord Krishna reveals his cosmic form to Arjun. This profound scene, meant to convey the divine inevitability of destruction and rebirth, was famously quoted by physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer after witnessing the first successful atomic bomb test in 1945.Neeti breaks down:The original spiritual context of Krishna’s words in the Bhagavad Gita.How Oppenheimer’s quote shifted the meaning into a symbol of technological and destructive power.The moral and ethical dilemmas faced by scientists and leaders when wielding great power.The responsibility of individuals to consider the social, ethical, and spiritual impact of their actions.Through a deep dive into history, philosophy, and human behavior, Neeti draws attention to the lessons that modern entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators can take from both the Gita and the Oppenheimer story. She challenges listeners to ask themselves:Are my actions serving humanity or harming it?Am I using my knowledge to create or to destroy?Do I hide behind authority or take ownership of my work’s consequences?With references to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the ripple effects of the atomic bomb, this episode becomes a meditation on leadership, accountability, and the luxury of power – a reminder that true luxury lies in ethical choices and purposeful creation.If you are a spiritual seeker, entrepreneur, or someone fascinated by the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern challenges, this episode will inspire you to think deeper about how you use your influence, creativity, and decision-making power.Show Notes: https://plush-ink.com/uncategorized/bhagavad-gita-and-oppenheimer-movie-reaction-spiritual-wisdom-in-modern-chaos/⏱ TIMESTAMPS (29 minutes)00:00 Introduction – Bhagavad Gita & the Oppenheimer connection02:10 Krishna’s cosmic form & Arjun’s awe and fear05:30 Original meaning of Bhagavad Gita 11:3208:15 Oppenheimer’s Sanskrit learning & understanding of the Gita11:40 The first atomic bomb test and the famous quote#LuxuryUnpluggedPodcast #NeetiKeswani #Oppenheimer #BhagavadGita #GitaWisdom #SpiritualEntrepreneurship #EthicsOfPower #ScienceAndSpirituality #LeadershipLessons #LordKrishna #VighnaHarta #AncientWisdom #ChristopherNolan #NuclearEthics #LifeLessonsFromGita #MindfulLeadership #EthicalBusiness #PowerAndResponsibility👩 About Neeti KeswaniNeeti Keswani is a Business Storytelling Coach, Ho’oponopono Practitioner, and Author of Live Your Dreams.
