The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is a classic Hindu scripture that has been translated and interpreted by many scholars over the centuries. This particular version of the text was translated by Sir Edwin Arnold, a British poet and journalist who was deeply interested in Indian culture and religion. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and the god Krishna, who appears in human form. Arjuna is about to go to war against his own family members, and he is overcome with doubts and fears.
