The Gita Story is an epic tale of spiritual enlightenment. It’s an ancient Sanskrit poem, written in the form of a dialogue between two characters: the Hindu warrior-prince Arjuna and his mentor and divine guide Lord Krishna. The story has transcended generations, offering spiritual guidance to millions who find inspiration from its timeless teachings.
What is Gita? The Gita Story is set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra as Arjuna contemplates whether he should fight against his own people or not. From there, it serves as a moral and ethical lesson for mankind, teaching readers about dharma (duty), karma (action), and moksha (liberation). Lord Krishna helps him come to terms with his inner struggles by providing wisdom on how to live life with equanimity in spite of adversity. The verses written at various stages during the dialogue present different ways to lead fulfilling lives while recognizing our spiritual nature as souls united with God through devotion or ‘bhakti’ yoga.
