Sayings from the Bhagvad Gita

In the Indian epic Mahabharata, the battlefield of Kurukshetra holds a very significant position. It was here that the mighty warrior Arjuna lost his nerve when he had to fight his own blood relations, mentors and illustrious teachers. Lord Krishna, the Supreme Godhead in the avatar of Arjuna's charioteer understood his despondency and advised him on what he should be doing. This sermon by Lord Krishna, known as the Bhagvad Gita is held in high esteem not only by the Hindus but people of other faith as well. It may have been delivered in the setting of a battlefield but illumined minds have found it very relevant in present times as well. Sayings from the Bhagvad Gita combines the beauty of the celestial message with the bewitching beauty of Mother Earth.
