For eighteen days, the land of the children of Bharatha watched as the families of Pandu and Dhritarashtra clashed in battle. However, before the battle, Arjuna, one of the Pandavas, finds himself crippled with fear and doubt, questioning his own values. The Bhagavad Gita contains the words of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as he explains that not fulfilling one's Dharma is the greatest sin.Summary of the BookThe Bhagavad Gita, the Song Divine, is considered to be one of the foremost treatises on philosophy and the concept of Dharma. In its 700 verses, one can find the answer to life, the universe and the explanation of why human beings are repeatedly put through birth and death cycles. Liberation, Krishna explains, comes to those who uphold Dharma. Arjuna's Dharma was to kill his enemies and reinstate his family as the rightful rulers of Hastinapura. Krishna explains that man's repeated failure to uphold his Dharma is why he manifests himself, time and again, to set right the path that humanity strays onto. An examination of the ethical and moral struggles of man, the Bhagavad Gita is the sum total of man's greatest duties, and his worst fallacies.About A. C.
