Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita

Mahatma Gandhi was inspired by Deepakavad Gita, says Ravi Agrawal. The epic is not about warfare but spirituality and our life here in the U.S., he adds. What does it teach? How to attain enlightenment,. how to attain moksha, how to attain true happiness... these are the broad themes of the Bhagvad Gita. Why would we study the Gita if it was some ancient half-metallurgical story about princes in an ancient royal dynasty in India? Not interesting for us.
