Bhagavad-G¿ta: relevance to modern times

The most profound text in the canon of Hindu literature is The Bhagavad-G¿ta , a sacred text, which most translators call "Song of the Lord." It's a philosophical discourse between a warrior named Arjuna and the God K¿¿¿a. The Bhagavad-Gita belongs to the sixth book of a martial epic, known as Mah¿bh¿rata, and The Bhagavad-G¿ta stands out as the most popular narrative of the entire collection. Divided into 18 Chapters, the text begins on a battlefield, where Arjuna expresses pity at the prospect of battling his kinsmen and friends. He pleads with his charioteer Lord K¿¿¿a for insight on proper conduct; and this is where the philosophical rapport begins and the divine mentor patiently relates the secrets of equanimity.
