The gist of gist of Lord Krishna’s teaching in Chapter eight is
1. Whatever you think throughout your life will be your thought at the time of death.
2. Whatever is the state of mind at the time of death will be the atmosphere you will get in the rebirth. For example if your state of mind is in cruelty at the time of death, you will be born in a cruel family.
3. The mind gets purified when near fire (Yagna), illumination (light), daytime (sunlight), fortnight before the full moon or purnima and Uttarayana (the period between 14th Jan to 14th July when the sun moves northwards). These situations and periods are the time for spontaneous positive thinking.
4. If the above is not possible thinking of God or Chanting AUM or RAM RAM at the time of death can also take one to positive thinking.
This is the reason why a dying person is assisted by shifting to a well illuminated room; Yagna pooja is offered; diya is lit or chanting of bhajans is done.
Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharata waited for this period to discharge his soul from the body.
Uttarayana means positive and healthy state of mind and dakshinayana means a depressed state of mind.
Performing and attending to Yagna, sitting in well illuminated light or exposing oneself to the day sunlight can be an adjunct to depression treatment and building positive thoughts.
During the first fortnight of full moon and during Uttarayana, the psychotherapy and counseling invariable will work better and the requirement of drugs may get reduced
