About
The Bhagavad Gita serves as a foundational text in Hindu philosophy and literature, originally composed in Sanskrit as part of the epic poem Mahabharata. This dataset presents an English translation of the scripture, capturing the profound dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Facing the moral dilemma of fighting his own kin, Arjuna seeks guidance, leading to Krishna's exposition on duty (dharma), selfless action (karma yoga), and devotion (bhakti). The text explores deep metaphysical concepts regarding the nature of the self and the universe, remaining a vital source of spiritual wisdom that influences art, culture, and theology globally.
