Bhagavad Gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each
truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the
material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the
nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's
spiritual wisdom.
Bhagavad Gita, is a part of the 5th Veda (written by Vedavyasa - ancient Indian
saint).
The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita often referred to as the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu
scripture that is part of the epic Mahabharata dated to the second half of the
first millennium BCE and is typical of the Hindu synthesis. It is considered to be
one of the Holy Scriptures for Hinduism.
The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince
Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. At the start of the Dharma Yuddha (righteous war) between Pandavas
and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with moral dilemma and despair about the
violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own kind.
He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers
and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill
his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".
The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching
upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war
Arjuna faces.
