In Rot & Ruin, the author uses the theme of family being important. Here is a example of the theme from the book “He barely liked his family-and by family he meant his older brother. Tom.” The conflict is that Benny and Tom do not have a good relationship and have grudges against each other. If you hold grudges against your family or do not have a good relationship with your family, you will have no one to fall back on and you will be by yourself.
In the work The Bhagavad-gītā Arjuna struggle with dharma vs karma. which is that he is a warrior and this is his duty to fight in the war, but he will be killing his family members and the fact that he has feeling for the people he is about to kill. The god in the work, Krishna, give him a pretty straight forward answer. Krishna in The Bhagavad-gītā states “you have mourned those not to be mourned the wise do not grieve for those who are gone… there was no time when I was not, nor you, nor these lords around us, and there will never be a time henceforth when we shall not exist.”
Relations Between Sir Gawain And The Green Knight And Christianity “Sir Gawain and The Green Knight” have a plethora of connections and relations to Christianity all around its story. Some examples could be Arthurian chivalry with the pentangle of Sir Gawain's shield and Mary's face in the middle, the battle between Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which took place inside the chapel of a church, and The Green Knight's decision toward Gawain in showing him mercy. These examples show only few reasons why “Sir Gawain And The Green Knight” have connections and relations towards Christianity. The ideals of Christianity and chivalry are brought together in Gawain’s symbolic shield.

Gandhi once said “It is the acid test of non-violence,” “that in a non-violent conflict there is no rancor left behind and, in the end, the enemies are converted into friends.” For example, Gandhi expected Britain to allow India’s independence after World War I, but it did not happen,
The Epic of Gilgamesh and Bhagavad Gita examine how life should be lived. The Epic of Gilgamesh discuss how people should live their lives to the fullest and leave a legacy behind because once they die, their life is over; “He entered the city and asked a blind man if he ever heard the name Enkidu, and the old man shrugged and shook his head,” (Gilgamesh). As soon as Enkidu died, no one knew who he was because he did not leave a legacy behind. The only way to be remembered was to make an impact on the townspeople's’ lives so they would continue to speak about you even after death. However, in Bhagavad Gita they discuss how one should live their life selflessly and for others because the goal is to be reincarnated into a human being again and
Violence did not need to be performed for the advocate to get their point across. Ghandi states “No country has ever become, or will ever become, happy through the victory in war.

The message is not presented through a physical event or object, but rather by witnessing the consequences of disobeying one’s god. The characters never partake in arguments, however they do receive almost instant karma for their cruel actions towards others.

In their battle, Rama uses the, “Brahma-missile, which the sage Agastya had given to him,” (Valmiki). The brahma-missile is a physical object that represents the spiritual lesson of following the Buddha.

Bhagavad Gita vs. Book of Genesis Being born in a traditional Indian family I was taught about hinduism and its religious text, The Bhagavad Gita. It is said that Gita holds answers to all of life’s questions and by reading it one can attain the eternal peace and freedom from stressors. This was very interesting to me as a kid growing up in America, which is the center of diverse religions and cultures.
