Bhagavad+Gita

The //Bhagarad Gita// can be translated to “the Song of the Divine One.” Speculated to have been written around 500 BCE, it is a Sanskrit text which is divided into eighteen chapters comprising 700 verses written in a poetic form that is traditionally chanted. It relates the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna that took place just prior to the start of the Kurukshetra War. Generally considered a concise guide to Hindu philosophy, it tells how to conduct oneself in everyday life and is one of the most sacred and popular scriptures of Hinduism.
