What Is The Message Of The Bhagavad Gita?

The Bhagavad-Gita is the eternal message of spiritual wisdom from ancient India. The Bhagavad-Gita provides answers to many mysterious questions related to life and death such as:

  1. Who am I?
  2. What is my purpose in life?
  3. Who, or what, is God?
  4. What should my relationship be with the Divine?
  5. Is it possible to live a fulfilled life in a world that doesn’t seem to support it?
  6. Is there life on other planets?
  7. How do I develop spiritual vision?

It is the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield before the start of the Kurukshetra war. Responding to Arjuna’s confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince and elaborates on different Yogic[5] and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies.

  1. It is a practical and self-contained guide to life.
  2. A concise guide to Hindu philosophy.
  3. A practical and self-contained guide to supreme accomplishment and enlightenment.
  4. It is divided into three sections, Karma (work), Upâsanâ (devotion) and Jnâna (knowledge).

Message of the Gita – According To Mahatma Gandhi

The object of the Gita appears to me to be that of showing the most excellent way to attain self-realization.
