The 'Bhagavad Gita' ("Song of the Lord") is considered the most influential scripture of ancient India, embraced by Hindus as practical guidance for the conduct of everyday life. Eknath Easwaran translates this timeless classic with universal and practical appeal for modern people of all religions. The Gita portrays an encounter that takes place on a
battlefield just as fighting is about to begin. Facing the forces of greed, anger, and hatred, the legendary warrior-prince Arjuna loses the heart to fight and seeks counsel from his friend and charioteer, Lord Krishna, who represents the Divine within. Krishna teaches how people of action, living in the world, can bravely face the unavoidable challenges
and conflicts of life-and win the greatest of all battles, against all that is selfish and violent within themselves.
