Full text here.

The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is a revered scripture of Hindu philosophy and spirituality. Comprising 700 verses, it is a profound dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior prince Arjuna, set against the backdrop of the Mahabharata war. At its core, the Gita addresses the moral dilemma faced by Arjuna, torn between his duty as a warrior and the moral implications of fighting his own kin.

The Gita delves into various philosophical concepts such as dharma (duty), yoga (spiritual discipline), karma (action and its consequences), and bhakti (devotion). It advocates for selfless action, detachment from the fruits of one's actions, and the path of righteousness.

Its teachings transcend religious boundaries and offer timeless wisdom applicable to all aspects of life. The Bhagavad Gita emphasizes the importance of inner peace, self-awareness, and spiritual realization. Its profound insights continue to inspire millions worldwide, serving as a guiding light on the journey towards self-discovery, righteousness, and ultimately, liberation (moksha).
