The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse jewel embedded in the Mahabharata (Bhishma Parva), is traditionally ascribed to sage Vyasa. Framed as Krishna’s counsel to the troubled warrior Arjuna on the Kurukshetra battlefield, it synthesizes yoga, bhakti, jnana, and nishkama karma—duty performed without attachment. Across eighteen chapters it maps inner struggle, the nature of self, duty (dharma), the three gunas, and paths to liberation (moksha). Steeped in ancient history yet timeless in clarity, the Gita remains a practical manual for ethical choice, leadership, and equanimity, guiding seekers today toward purposeful action, mental resilience, and spiritual insight in a complex world.
