Description

The Bhagavad Gita which is often referred to as simply the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of a Hindu epic. It is a sacred text of the Hindu religion. The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Lord Krishna. Facing the duty as a warrior to fight the Dharma Yudhha or righteous war between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is counselled by Lord Krishna to 'fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and establish Dharma.' Inserted in this appeal to kshatriya dharma (chivalry) is 'a dialogue ... between diverging attitudes concerning methods toward the attainment of liberation (moksha)'. The Bhagavad Gita was exposed to the world through Sanjaya, who senses and cognises all the events of the battlefield. Sanjaya is Dhritarashtra's advisor and also his charioteer. The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Lord Krishna. Facing the duty as a warrior to fight the Dharma Yudhha or righteous war between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is counselled by Lord Krishna to 'fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and establish Dharma.'
