Bhagavad Gita​

TheBhagavad Gita(/ˌbʌɡəvədˈɡiːtɑː,-tə/;Sanskrit:भगवद्गीता, IAST:bhagavad-gītā, lit. "The Song of God"), often referred to asthe Gita, is a 700-verseSanskrit scripture that is part of the Hindu epicMahabharata(chapters 23--40 of Bhishma Parva).

TheGitais set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna. At the start of the DharmaYudhha(righteous war) between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause. He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers and discourse constitute theBhagadvad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya(warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".The Krishna--Arjuna dialogue cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces.

TheBhagavad Gitapresents a synthesisof Hindu ideas about dharma, theisticbhakti, and the yogic ideals of moksha. The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga(spoken of in the 6th chapter) incorporating ideas from the Samkhya-Yoga philosophy

Numerous commentaries have been written on theBhagavad Gitawith widely differing views on the essentials.Vedanta commentators read varying relations between Self and Brahman in the text:Advaita Vedanta sees the non-dualism of Atman(soul) and Brahman as its essence, whereas Bhedabheda and Vishishtadvaita see Atman and Brahman as both different and non-different, and Dvaita sees them as different. The setting of theGitain a battlefield has been interpreted as an allegory for the ethical and moral struggles of the human life.

TheBhagavad Gitais the best known and most famous of Hindu texts, with a unique pan-Hindu influence. The Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi; the latter referred to it as his "spiritual dictionary".
