The words of Lord Krishna to his friend, student and nephew Arjuna before the Kurukshetra war have guided Hindus throughout the ages. The Bhagavad Gita: According To Paramhansa Yogananda is a translation and explanation of that extraordinary poem into English by the saint. Summary of the Book Fear not Arjuna, carry out your Dharma. Krishna, the embodiment of Vishnu in human form sought to remove Arjuna's fears with these words. When fraught with self-doubt and worry over needing to kill his own cousins and family members, the Pandava prince turned to his charioteer for guidance.
