The Bhagavad

The Bhagavad Gītā is considered by many as one of the most popular texts among the world's scriptures,. Its popularity is demonstrated by the fact that, next to the Bible, it is perhaps the most widely translated of scriptural texts. This scripture is suited for the entire humanity, irrespective of a person's religious or ethnic background.The Gītā is said to be the Revelation given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, in the battle field to help him resolve his mental conflict. It was then put in the present form by sage Vyāsa.

In India, ever since the great Shankarā wrote his commentary on it, many eminent scholars of the vedanta philosophy have given their interpretations of this exemplary text.

Bhagavad Gita
"Perform your obligatory duty, because action is indeed better than inaction.”

Books

The interpretations of the text were not only done by ancient Indian thinkers, but many leaders of modern times have also taken it as a text for expounding their noblest thoughts. They include books such as Tilak's Gītā Rahasya, Aurobindo's Essays on Gītā and Mahatma Gandhi's Anāsakti Yoga show the continued preference and admiration for Gītā over centuries.

The Gītā's tremendous appeal lies in the fact that it deals with practical problems of Life, and contains lessons that we can follow to resolve our day to day conflicts.The Bhagavad-Gītā tends to impress upon the individual two things: first, selflessness, and second, action; the studying of and living by it will arouse the belief that there is but one Spirit and not several, that we cannot live for ourselves alone, but must come to realize that there is no such thing as separateness, and no possibility of escaping from the collective karma of the race to which one belongs, and then, that we must think and act in accordance with such belief.
