Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most sacred Indian scriptures and is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It is from chapters 25 to 42 of the Bishma-Parva section of the Mahabharata. It forms a very important part of Vedic literature. Bhagavad-Gita, also known as Gitopanishad has 701 verses across 18 chapters. The Bhagavad-Gita has the teachings of Lord Krishna to the great warrior Arjuna at the time of the great war of Mahabharata.
The occasion for these teachings was furnished by the great war, between the Kauravas and the Pandavas,
who were related to each other. As the battle is about to begin, Arjuna, the third of the five Pandava brothers, throws down his bow and arrow, and confesses his inability to kill his own cousins and kinsmen, as well as those revered teachers who had been the common tutors of the Kauravas and Pandavas. Lord Krishna then delivers an oration, urging Arjuna to perform his duty, to be the warrior that he is, and it is these teachings that are encapsulated in the Bhagavad-Gita. Bhagavad-Gita literally translates to "The Song of the Lord". It is a classic of Indian literature and considered the essence of all Vedic knowledge. |
