The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a central scripture of Hindu philosophy, presented as a conversation between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Lord Krishna, on the eve of the great Kurukshetra war in the Mahabharata.
Faced with moral confusion and despair over fighting his relatives and teachers, Arjuna is instructed by Krishna in paths of action (karma-yoga), devotion (bhakti-yoga), and knowledge (jnana-yoga), as well as the nature of the self, God, and liberation.
The text’s 18 chapters systematically address ethical duty, selfless work, meditation, and surrender to the Divine, making it both a spiritual classic and a practical guide to righteous living.
