Bhagavad Gita: Difference between revisions

The ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita:Bhagavad Gita|Bhagavad Gita]]'' (''The Song of God'') is a book within a larger epic based on the conversation in the Hindu Epic ''[[Mahabharata]]'' between [[Warrior Prince]] Arjuna and his charioteer [[God in Human Form|Krishna]] during the [[Civil War|Kurushetra War]]. Arjuna had to fight his cousin [[Evil Prince]] [[Big Bad]] Duryodhana, his [[The Dragon|archnemesis]] [[Cain and Abel|Karna]], his teacher and mentor [[Rage Against the Mentor|Drona]] and Kuru Patriach and beloved grandfather Bhishma after exhausting all other legal means in order to get back his Kingdom. Arjuna gets a [[Heroic BSOD|Hamlet moment]] and is unresolved on whether to take part in the battle and in consequence, kill his kinsmen and teachers on the other side of the war. [[God Was My Co-Pilot|Krishna]] talks him into [[Honor Before Reason|fighting in the war]] and along the way, talks about subtle philosophy regarding the nature of the soul, the doctrines of yoga, the nature of man and the way to love God. The conversation ends as he shows his real form as God to Arjuna and convinces Arjuna to trust his judgement.
