The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita, often simply called the Gita, is a 700-verse Sanskrit scripture that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata (Book 6 – Bhishma Parva). It is presented as a profound dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, just before the great war begins.
At its core, the Gita addresses the eternal conflict between duty (dharma) and doubt, action and renunciation, and the spiritual path in everyday life. Through this sacred discourse, Lord Krishna imparts wisdom on:
-
Karma Yoga (Path of selfless action)
-
Bhakti Yoga (Path of devotion)
-
Jnana Yoga (Path of knowledge)
-
Raja Yoga (Path of meditation and discipline)
The Gita teaches how to live a life of purpose, balance, and spiritual awareness—without attachment to outcomes.
It is regarded not only as a spiritual scripture but also a philosophical and psychological masterpiece, relevant to people of all walks of life, across generations and cultures.
