The Bhagavad Gita, often called the “Song of God”, is a sacred Hindu scripture that forms part of the Mahabharata (specifically, the Bhishma Parva, chapters 23–40). It is presented as a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna faces moral confusion and despair about fighting in the war. Through this discourse, Krishna teaches profound spiritual and philosophical principles, including dharma (duty), karma (action), bhakti (devotion), jnana (knowledge), and yoga (union and disciplined living). The Bhagavad Gita emphasizes performing one’s duties selflessly, maintaining equanimity, and realizing the eternal self (Ātman) as distinct from the body, guiding seekers toward spiritual liberation (moksha) while engaging in the world responsibly. It remains one of the most influential texts in Hinduism and global philosophy.
