The modern academic landscape is rife with challenges, ranging from intense competition to high expectations, often leading to stress, anxiety, and reduced academic resilience. This resilience, defined as the ability to recover and adapt in the face of adversity, is critical for students' success and well-being. This study explores the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Indian scripture, to derive principles that can bolster academic resilience and improve decision-making. Key teachings, such as Karma Yoga (performing actions without attachment to outcomes), Jnana Yoga (self-awareness), Bhakti Yoga (purposeful dedication), and maintaining equanimity, are examined in the context of educational challenges. These insights are juxtaposed with modern psychological theories, including emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and the growth mindset, to propose actionable strategies for educators and students. By integrating these teachings into academic frameworks, the study aims to create a holistic approach to nurturing resilience and fostering sound decision-making among students.
