Bhagavad Gita is an epic scripture that has the answers to all our issues. When a confused Arjuna turned to his charioteer, Lord Krishna, for advice at the Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna expressed some rational philosophical ideas that are relevant even today. Bhagavad-gita is also called Gitopanishad. It is the essence of all Vedic information and one of the foremost vital Upanishads in vedic literature. It was taught by Sri Krishna to Arjuna on a battleground. Arjuna was a warrior prince, a hero, who was beset by all manner of doubts once he had to fight his own cousins for his rights. Krishna told Arjuna to do his duty and where his duty lay as a combatant when on the battlefield. He taught him the true nature of the soul, the universe and God. He taught him the right path of action.
