The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most beloved scriptures of India. Gita is the essence of all the four Vedas, and so the entire knowledge of the cosmos is believed to be contained in the Gita. Lord Krishna discourses the cosmic knowledge detailing life, death, righteousness, duty, and goals in the midst of the battlefield to encourage Arjuna to follow the right path. The Gita celebrates the discovery of the Absolute (the essence of all manifestation), which is hidden from all because of maya (the cosmic delusion). The main aim of the Gita is to establish an unbreakable union with the Absolute. Bhagavad Gita consists of 700 verses and is arranged into 18 chapters.
