Overview

It is estimated that the origins of the ""Bhagavad-gita"", a 700 verse Hindu scripture which is part of the larger ""Mahabharata"" was originally composed as early as the 9th century BC. Ascribed to the Sage Vyasa, the ""Bhagavad-gita"" is a classic work of Hindu scripture which relates the story of Prince Arjuna who is faced with a decision with serious moral consequence, whether or not to go to war. With the armies arrayed on the battlefield, Arjuna in a moment of hesitation is counseled by Vishnu, the Supreme God, who takes the form of Krishna wearing the disguise of a charioteer. This work along with its larger counterpart the ""Mahabharata"" has been described as one of the most important works of scripture ever composed. A classic tale of Hindu spirituality, the ""Bhagavad-gita"" provides great insight into dealing with the morally ambiguous challenges that face us all.
