Text Box: The Bhagavad Gita or The Song of God is one of the world’s most revered spiritual works. Part of the much larger spiritual classic The Mahabharata, the Gita contains some of the most sublime spiritual teachings of the ages. The monumental saga of the Mahabharata is a breathtaking adventure story, replete with love and hate, triumph and tragedy, righteousness and wrongdoing, magic and blessings. The greatness of this beloved work lies in the deep spiritual allegories contained in it’s pages.
The Bhagavad Gita is about two thirds of the way through the Mahabharata. It opens on a battlefield, and the teachings that follow from this event is the story of every soul’s journey to enlightenment.. The Gita is an ancient work, but it’s inspired, reassuring and eminently practical message, is timeless. Yes, we can learn to live victoriously in the face of every modern challenge, wherever we are, whatever our circumstances.
