The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is one of the most revered and timeless scriptures in Indian philosophy and spirituality. Composed over 2,000 years ago, it is a 700-verse dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. As Arjuna faces a moral crisis before war, Lord Krishna imparts profound spiritual wisdom and guidance.
