Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita or ‘Gita’ is one of the foremost and most significant Hindu texts. A part of the Indian sagacity that is Mahabharata, the text is believed to have been written in Sanskrit, during the 5th and the 2nd Century BCE. The Hindu scripture comprises 700 verses and is considered one of the primary holy texts in the Hindu system of belief. It is presented in a narrative format of dialogue between the fearless warrior and Pandava prince Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna, later revealed to Arjuna to be Lord Sri Krishna Himself. It is initiated as Arjuna feels remorse and sorrow upon seeing his own family prepare themselves on the battlefield only fight against each other and hence surrenders to Lord Krishna. He then goes on to give his advice to Arjuna on divinity, the right action and the entirety and ultimate meaning of life.
