A horrific war is about to begin. As Arjuna surveys the battlefield and sees his friends and kinsmen on both sides, he loses the will to fight and collapses. So begins the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most profound conversations in Sanskrit literature and one of the most important works in Hindu thought.
We present the Gita at four levels of difficulty, so that you can choose the level that's right for you. Level 1 is great for beginners, and Level 4 contains the original verses.
