The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita (“The Song of God”) is a 700-verse sacred text that forms part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. Set on the eve of the Kurukshetra War, the narrative unfolds as a profound dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his divine charioteer, Lord Krishna. Faced with the moral crisis of battle, Arjuna receives timeless teachings on duty (dharma), selfless action (karma yoga), devotion (bhakti yoga), and spiritual knowledge (jnana yoga). Blending poetry, philosophy, and spiritual guidance, the Gita has been a cornerstone of Hindu thought for centuries and continues to inspire seekers across cultures and faiths.
