вЂ God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad GitaвЂ by Paramahansa Yogananda.

вЂ Bhagavad Gita: A New TranslationвЂ by Stephen Mitchell.

вЂ The Bhagavad GitaвЂ by Eknath Easwaran.

Sir Edwin ArnoldвЂ™s renowned Victorian rendering, The Song Celestial (1885,) introduced Mahatma Gandhi to the Bhagavad Gita. Popular translations and commentaries include the writings of ДЂdi Ељaб№…karДЃcДЃrya ( BhagavadgД«tДЃbhДЃб№Јya,) RДЃmДЃnuja, MadhvДЃcДЃrya, Eknath Easwaran, Annie Besant, Sri Aurobindo and PrabhЕ«pada. Scholars believe that the poem was composed sometime between the 2nd century BCE and the 2nd century CE, and part of Book VI of the Hindu epic MahДЃbhДЃrata. Like the great scriptures of the other religions, the GД«tДЃ discusses various beliefs, values, and disciplines central to the conduct of a good and meaningful life: devotion, attachment, conflict of motives, ethical actions and consequences, sense of duty, and misgivings from right actions. The Bhagavad GД«tДЃ stresses the importance of doing oneвЂ™s duty and faith in God. KrМЈsМЈnМЈa answers that Arjuna must abide by his proper social role or dharma as a member of the warrior caste, without considering the outcome. The Arjuna has abruptly been overwhelmed by questions about the mass killing that the battle will occasion. The Bhagavad GД«tДЃ is a compilation of 700 verses (divided into eighteen sections) presented as a discourse rendered by the divine charioteer KrМЈsМЈnМЈa, an incarnation of Viб№Јб№‡u, one of the central deities of Hinduism, to the warrior Arjuna at the onset of the legendary battle of Kurukshetra between Arjuna and his brothers on one side and their cousins on the other.

Considered the most pleasing and profound religious writing in India, it is consulted more than any other Hindu text as a source of spiritual truth and wisdom.

The Bhagavad GД«tДЃ, literally вЂњBlessed LordвЂ™s Song,вЂќ often referred to as merely the GД«tДЃ, is a Hindu scripture rendered in Sanskrit.
