The land of the children of Bharatha watched in silence, as the familes of Pandu (Pandavas) and Dhritarashtra (Kauravas) clashed in battle in Kurukshetra for eighteen days. Just before the battle, Arjuna, one of the Pandavas, found himself distressed with anxiety and doubt, questioning his own principles and morale. Srimad Bhagavad Gita contains the words of wisdom of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as he explains that not fulfilling one's Dharma is the greatest sin. Summary of the Book The Bhagavad Gita, the Song Divine, is revered as one of the foremost treatises on philosophy and Dharma. In its 700 profound verses, one can find the answer about life, the universe and the reason of why human beings are constantly put through birth and death cycles. Liberation, Krishna explains, is attained by those who uphold Dharma. Arjuna's Dharma was to kill 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 – dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge.
