Bhagavad English gita

The Bhagavad Gita, the Song Divine, is revered as one of the significant treatises on philosophy and the concept of Dharma. It contains the words of Sri Krishna, the supreme personality of Godhead, as he explains that not fulfilling one's Dharma is the greatest sin.

The Bhagavad-Gita is the main source-book on yoga and a concise summary of India's Vedic wisdom. Yet remarkably, the setting for this best-known classic of spiritual literature is an ancient Indian battlefield. At the last moment before entering battle, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder about the real meaning of his life. Why should he fight against his friends and relatives? Why does he exist? Where is he going after death? In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krsna, Arjuna's friend and spiritual master, brings His disciple from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment and each one of us is invited to walk the same path. . In the course of doing so, Krsna concisely but definitively explains transcendental knowledge; karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, dhyana-yoga, and bhakti-yoga; knowledge of the Absolute; devotional service; the three modes of material nature; the divine and demoniac natures; and much more. Bhagavad-Gita As It Is is the largest-selling, most widely used edition of the Gita in the world.

Summary of the Book

In Gita’s verses, one can find the answer to the bigger questions of life, the universe and the explanation of why human beings are repeatedly put through birth and death cycles. Liberation, Krishna asserts, comes only to those who uphold Dharma. A study of the ethical and moral struggles of man, Bhagavad-Gita As It Is presents A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s interpretation of the Gita, which is the sum total of man's most important duties, and his worst delusions.
