| Summary: | The Bhagavad Gita, one of the most revered religious texts of India, has led readers and listeners along a religious and spiritual journey since its construction. The journey travels along the path to becoming Self-aware, when one becomes one with Brahman which is the ultimate goal. The text of the Bhagavad Gita is the instruction manual for achieving this desired end. It is written as the story of Sri Krishna guiding Arjuna through decisions that must be made on the battlefield against Arjuna's kin and gurus. Sri Krishna's instructions not only befuddle Arjuna, but also the reader of the Gita. |
