on the verge of battle and foreseeing the carnage to come, turns to his friend
and adviser Krishna who also serves as Arjuna’s charioteer. Their dialogue
comprises India’s most beloved scripture theBhagavad Gita, whose enduring
message is love’s transformative power even in the most dire of circumstances. Gita
Wisdom offers scholars and general readers alike a superb summary to this
seminal wisdom text.
