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 Krishna, Arjuna's friend and spiritual
master, brings His disciple from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment. In the
course of doing so, Krishna concisely but definitively explains transcendental
knowledge; karma-yoga, jnana-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.
