The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most revered spiritual and philosophical texts in Hindu tradition, forming a part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is presented as a dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, moments before the start of a great war.
Arjuna, faced with the dilemma of fighting against his own relatives and teachers, is overcome by doubt and despair. Seeking guidance, he turns to Krishna, who serves as his charioteer and divine teacher. Krishna imparts profound wisdom on duty (Dharma), selfless action (Karma Yoga), devotion (Bhakti Yoga), and knowledge (Jnana Yoga), helping Arjuna realize that the true self is eternal, and that one must act with righteousness, free from attachment to the results.
The Bhagavad Gita transcends time and culture, offering deep insights into spirituality, ethics, leadership, and the path to enlightenment. It has inspired countless philosophers, thinkers, and seekers throughout history, making it a timeless guide to self-realization and inner peace.
