The Bhagavad Gita

In a heroic age, on the vast plains of North India, a timeless spiritual classic was born – the message of Sri Krishna to Prince Arjuna, on the brink of a war he doesn't want to fight.

Arjuna's struggle in the Bhagavad Gita is acutely modern. He has lost his way on the battlefield of life and turns to find the path again by asking direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself.

Krishna replies in 700 verses of sublime instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul.

Easwaran shows the Gita's relevance to us today as we strive, like Arjuna, to do what is right.
