Gitavachan is an ambitious project by a small team to bring people closer to the wisdom of the holy Bhagawad Gita. You can interact with the Gita as if talking to a guru or a teacher. We all have questions about life we would like help with, what better way than asking the Gita which presents the knowledge about duty, life and so many other topics that are still very relevant to our day-to-day lives.
About the holy Bhagawad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita - 'The Song by God', often referred to as the Gita, is a 700-verse scripture, which is part of the epic Mahabharata. It forms the chapters 23–40 of book 6 of the Mahabharata called the Bhishma Parva. The work is dated to the second half of the first millennium BCE. It is one of the highly respected texts in hindusim and is centered around the hindu god - Krishna.
The Bhagavad Gita is set in a narrative framework of dialogue between the Pandava prince Arjuna and his charioteer guide Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu in the hindu faith. At the start of the Kurukshetra War between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, Arjuna despairs thinking about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his kin and becomes emotionally preoccupied with a dilemma. Wondering if he should renounce the war, Arjuna seeks the counsel of Krishna, whose answers and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfil his Kshatriya (warrior) duty" for the upholdment of dharma. The Krishna–Arjuna dialogue covers a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon moral and ethical dilemmas, and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war that Arjuna faces. The setting of the text in a battlefield has been interpreted as an allegory for the struggles of human life.
