Bhagavad-Gita Hari Patel

The Bhagavad-Gita is an ancient Hindu scripture. Gita is about a progressive civilization that takes its inspiration from the divine to see how it can advance to becoming a fairer, more just and balanced society. The pinnacle of its belief is to see all venerable members as equal. It not only reaches out to the rich, poor, and crippled in society but also reaches out to less intelligent species as equals partners on earth. It conveys a spiritual battle each of us has to undertake against a much greater and more powerful enemy, the struggle in this life against the forces of nature and ignorance, such as pain, suffering, poverty, greed, selfishness, cruelty, ignorance, and finally death itself, to bring light and relief to these dark areas of our lives and to create a brighter future for us and all creation. Gita begins with Arjuna, a renowned warrior prince, preparing to go into a physical and spiritual battle that each one of us confronts daily. This is an account of his conversation with the Supreme Lord.
