Shrimad BhagavadGita Hindi 1.0.2

The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Srimad Bhagavad Gita or simply the Gita, represents a pivotal moment in the epic Mahabharata, specifically within the Bhishma Parva (chapters 23-40). Delivered by Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, this sacred text comprises 700 verses that encapsulate the essence of Hindu philosophy and wisdom derived from the Upanishads.

Notably, the setting for this profound dialogue was not a serene riverside or a tranquil hermitage, but rather a battlefield laden with tension and anticipation. As Arjuna confronted his revered teachers and beloved kin on the opposing side, he was engulfed by sorrow and moral turmoil. In his moment of crisis, he turned to his charioteer and friend, Krishna, seeking guidance. Through a captivating discourse, Krishna addressed Arjuna's multitude of queries that spanned themes of sin, duty, death, desire, duality, and divinity.

Krishna's teachings illuminated key aspects of Hindu thought such as the nature of life and death, karma, devotion (bhakti), knowledge (jnana), yoga, and the concept of supreme reality. Arjuna’s understanding evolved to recognize that true demise pertains only to the physical body while the immortal soul remains unaffected.
