The Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the epic Mahabharata. It is a conversation between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The Gita addresses the moral and philosophical dilemmas faced by Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Krishna's teachings encompass various paths to spirituality including Karma Yoga (the path of action), Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge). The central message is to perform one's duty without attachment to results, maintaining equanimity in success and failure.
