Shrimad Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita (meaning "Song of God") is a 700-verse Hindu scripture composed in Sanskrit that forms part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is structured as a philosophical and spiritual dialogue between the warrior prince Arjuna and his charioteer Lord Krishna, who is an avatar of Vishnu. Set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra right before a monumental civil war, the text serves as a practical guide to handling moral dilemmas, fulfilling personal duties, and understanding the nature of existence
