The Gita takes the form of a conversation between the warrior Arjuna and the god Krishna, set within the larger epic the Mahabharata. Along the way it touches on central concepts of Hindu thought, including dharma, moksha and the different paths of yoga. The work has been read for well over a thousand years and has influenced thinkers and reformers far beyond India.
Alongside the retelling, this volume offers a cast of characters, a glossary of key terms, and essays on the background of the epic and the work's lasting influence.
