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.
Swami Sarvapriyananda summarizes the first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".
