The Bhagavad-Gita is considered
to be one of the most sacred and popular
religious scriptures of Hinduism. Hindus consider the Bhagavad-Gita as a
direct message of Vishnu in the avatar of Krishna, revealed to
us in the form of a long dialogue between Him and Arjuna in the middle
of the battle field of Kurukshetra, where the epic battle of Mahabharat was
fought. The Bhagavad-Gita tells us how we should conduct ourselves in
our day to day lives, keeping God at the center of our awareness and
activities, performing our duties with a sense of detachment and as a way of our
sacrificial offering, and accepting God as the doer and facilitator
and ourselves as mere instruments engaged in the act of liberation and
self-realization. Those who read the Bhagavad-Gita regularly and
with sincerity are apt to be benefited in many ways physically,
materially, mentally and spiritually. This section deals exclusively with
the Bhagavad-Gita, its content, concepts, wisdom and philosophy. The
Bhagavad-Gita is relevant even today as it was centuries ago. In many
ways perhaps it is more relevant today than it was before as our lives
have become more complex and challenging due to pressures of modern life.
This section also contains links to important works and translations of
the Bhagavad-Gita from external sources. We are hopeful readers will
find this section useful.
