Synopsis
One of the most important Hindu texts, this early epic poem serves as a practical guide to living well.
The Bhagavad Gita recounts the conversation between Arjuna the warrior and his charioteer Krishna, the manifestation of God. In the moments before a great battle, the dialogue sets out the important lessons Arjuna must learn to change the outcome of the war he is to fight, and culminates in Krishna revealing to the warrior his true cosmic form, counseling him to search for the universal perfection of life. Ranging from instructions on yoga postures to dense moral discussion, The Bhagavad Gita remains an enduring source of wisdom.
