Bhagavad Gita

Book • 2020

The Bhagavad Gita is a central text in Hinduism, embedded within the epic Mahabharata.

It recounts a dialogue between the warrior-prince Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna, who is an avatar of the god Vishnu.

The text explores themes of dharma (duty), karma (action), and the path to spiritual enlightenment.

Krishna advises Arjuna on the importance of performing his duties without attachment to the outcomes, emphasizing the concept of nishkama karma (nonattached action).

The Gita synthesizes various strands of Indian religious thought, including Vedic concepts, samkhya yoga, and bhakti (devotion), providing a coherent vision of Hindu philosophy and spiritual practice.
