The Bhagavad Gita, or "Song of the Blessed One" is part of one of the largest epic poems ever written, called The Mahabarata. It was likely composed near the 2nd century B.C.E. It is the story of a young Prince Arjuna, who is about to engage in battle with his own cousins, and finds himself paralyzed with pity and sorrow and at the same time torn by his sense of duty to fight against corruption and chaos. At this moment, as if frozen in time, his charioteer, the Lord Krishna (the divine incarnate), addresses his question about what is right action and ultimately, what is the yogic path becomes the pages of the Bhagavad Gita.
Looking forward to hearing your insights, questions and experiences!
