The Bhagwad Gita is the Holy Book of the Hindus. It is a spiritual guide on how to live a Divine and fulfilling life in the world. Lord Krishna imparted this knowledge to his friend and follower Arjun in the midst of a battlefield. Arjun was unwilling and heartbroken to fight a war against his own clan. Krishna showed him the path to duty and stand for righteousness.
