Bhagavad Gita-English 2.0.0

The Bhagavad Gita is a profound scripture that delves into five fundamental truths and their interrelationships: Krishna (God), the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. In a lucid manner, the Gita unravels the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe, encapsulating India's spiritual wisdom.

The Bhagavad Gita holds a significant place in Hindu scriptures as it is a part of the 5th Veda and the epic Mahabharata, written by Vedavyasa - an ancient Indian saint. It was originally narrated on the battlefield of Kurukshetra by Lord Krishna to Arjuna.

Also known as the Gita, this 700-verse scripture has its roots in the Sanskrit language and is considered a Dharmic text. It portrays a conversation between Prince Arjuna of the Pandava clan and his guide Krishna, where they engage in deep philosophical discussions on various topics.

Arjuna seeks wisdom and guidance from Krishna amidst the turmoil of a fratricidal war. Throughout their discourse, Krishna imparts profound teachings on devotion, selfless action, and wisdom. The Bhagavad Gita upholds the essence and philosophical traditions of the Upanishads while also incorporating elements of dualism and theism.

Since its inception, the Bhagavad Gita has garnered countless commentaries with diverse perspectives. Starting with Adi Sankara's eighth-century CE commentary, various scholars have interpreted its essence differently. The battlefield setting of the Gita serves as an allegory for the ethical and moral conflicts faced by humans in their lives.

Renowned figures like Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi found solace and inspiration in the Bhagavad Gita during India's struggle for independence. Gandhi referred to it as his "spiritual dictionary."
