Oppenheimer Bhagavad Gita debate: Nitish Bhardwaj suggests scientist’s perspective on verse.
Nitish Bhardwaj’s Scientist Perspective on a Sacred Verse
The Bhagavad Gita, a timeless Indian scripture, is not only a spiritual guide but also a profound source of inspiration for people across the globe. One particular verse from this ancient text gained remarkable significance during the Oppenheimer Bhagavad Gita debate. In this blog, we delve into the thought-provoking insights shared by the renowned actor and filmmaker, Nitish Bhardwaj, who provided a scientist’s perspective on this verse and its impact on the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The Bhagavad Gita is a part of the larger Indian epic, the Mahabharata, and is presented as a dialogue between Lord Krishna and the valiant warrior, Arjuna, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It encompasses profound philosophical teachings on duty, righteousness, and the pursuit of self-realization. This sacred scripture holds a revered place in Hindu philosophy and has been a guiding light for millions seeking spiritual wisdom.
During the development of the first atomic bomb in the 1940s, J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant physicist and one of the key figures of the Manhattan Project, found himself confronted with the moral and ethical implications of his work. As he witnessed the devastating power of nuclear energy, he famously quoted a verse from the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” These words from Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32) resonated deeply with Oppenheimer, encapsulating the immense responsibility he bore as the father of the atomic bomb.
Nitish Bhardwaj, the actor widely known for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in the popular television series ‘Mahabharat,’ offered a thought-provoking perspective on Oppenheimer’s interpretation of the Gita verse. Bhardwaj highlighted that the verse itself doesn’t promote destruction; rather, it emphasizes the inevitability of change and the cyclical nature of the universe.
As a scientist, Oppenheimer was not merely interpreting a religious text but rather contemplating the consequences of scientific discoveries. Bhardwaj suggested that Oppenheimer’s reference to the verse was a reflection of the weight of responsibility he felt as a scientist. The creation of the atomic bomb marked a pivotal moment in human history, and Oppenheimer’s awareness of its implications led him to look for answers beyond the realm of physics.
The Oppenheimer Bhagavad Gita debate serves as a reminder of the ethical challenges that accompany scientific progress. The development of powerful technologies can lead to both positive advancements and potential dangers to humanity. As scientists delve deeper into the mysteries of the universe, they must also navigate the moral dilemmas that arise from their discoveries.
The Oppenheimer Bhagavad Gita debate, with Nitish Bhardwaj’s unique perspective, exemplifies the profound impact spiritual wisdom can have on individuals from all walks of life, even on renowned scientists. The Bhagavad Gita’s verses transcend time, offering insights into the human condition and the eternal quest for knowledge and meaning. As we continue to make strides in scientific exploration, it becomes crucial to integrate ethical considerations and spiritual wisdom, ensuring that our advancements are aligned with the greater good of humanity.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
