The Bhagavad Gita, a philosophical text composed of seven hundred Sanskrit verses, stands as one of humanity’s most significant literary and philosophical achievements. It has inspired a greater number of commentaries than any other philosophical or religious work throughout history. The Gita serves as a foundational text for India's Vedic civilization, guiding the spiritual lives of countless generations of Hindus and influencing various aspects of Indian society, ethics, culture, and politics. This widespread acceptance is evident among diverse sects and schools within Hinduism, all recognizing the Bhagavad Gita as a paramount guide to spiritual truth. As such, it offers profound insights into the metaphysical and psychological underpinnings of Vedic culture across both ancient and modern contexts.

The impact of the Bhagavad Gita extends beyond India; it has significantly influenced Western thought across generations, shaping the ideas of philosophers, theologians, educators, scientists, and authors. Henry David Thoreau eloquently captures this sentiment in his journal: "Every morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita … in comparison with which our modern civilization and literature seem puny and trivial."

The Bhagavad Gita is often regarded as the essence of Vedic literature, which encompasses a vast collection of ancient scriptures forming the foundation of Vedic philosophy and spirituality. It epitomizes the teachings encapsulated in the 108 Upanishads and is also referred to as Gitopanisad.

This classic text is presented in the context of a dialogue on a battlefield between Lord Sri Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, occurring just prior to the commencement of the Kurukshetra War—a significant conflict between the Kauravas and Pandavas that would determine India's political fate. In this dramatic moment, Arjuna grapples with his duty as a Kshatriya (warrior), hesitating to engage in battle due to personal motivations. Krishna, acting as Arjuna’s charioteer, perceives his friend’s confusion and guides him through both his social responsibilities (varna-dharma) as well as his eternal duty (sanatana-dharma) as a spiritual entity connected to God. The teachings conveyed by Krishna transcend Arjuna's immediate dilemma, addressing all souls who have lost sight of their eternal nature and purpose in life.

The narrative unfolds through Sanjaya, a disciple of Vyasadeva, who recounts this sacred discourse to King Dhritarashtra—father of the Kauravas—utilizing divine vision granted by Vyasadeva to convey events occurring far from his sight on the battlefield.
