Bhagavad Gita (श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता)

The Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is a part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is one of the most important religious texts in Hinduism and is considered a source of spiritual knowledge and wisdom.

The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, which takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just before the start of the great war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Arjuna, one of the Pandava princes, is overcome with grief and doubt about the impending war, and Krishna, who is Arjuna's charioteer, guides him through his doubts and provides him with spiritual teachings.

The teachings of the Bhagavad Gita are centered on the concept of dharma (righteousness), karma (action), and yoga (union with the divine). It emphasizes the importance of selfless action and detachment from the results of those actions, as well as the need to recognize the true nature of the self and to see the divine in all things.

The Bhagavad Gita has been highly influential in Indian philosophy and religion, and has been translated into many languages. Its teachings have also been adopted by many individuals and organizations around the world as a guide for spiritual growth and self-realization.
