I thought it may be of some interest to look at the more subtle offers that are found within our bhāgavad gītā. Please add yours as you see fit.

Because March 20th contains the vernal equinox I thought I would start there ; we know this as the first day of spring. This equinox is known as viṣuvat - being in the middle; middle most. So, my first question...
Within the very 1st chapter, arjun asks kṛṣṇa-jī to place his charrot in between ( madhya is used in the śloka ) the two armies. It is here that their conversation takes place. Why in-between (viṣuvat ) ? Surely they could have gone to another place to have this discussion. Is there some significance beyond the obvious i.e. of being able to view the armies in fully array ?
