Set in the mysterious and opulent Asia of 5,000 years ago, the 100,000 verse Mahabharata is ten times bigger than the Iliad and Odyssey of Greece combined. In eighteen chapters and 700 verses, the Supreme Lord Krishna who appeared on Earth at that time in history, explains to His cousin and friend Arjuna, all the most important truths of Yoga philosophy and practice. Each of the 18 chapters reveals another aspect of Yogic learning and practice until finally Arjuna is restored to his original Divine consciousness. This same immortal text of the Bhagavad-Gita has inspired thinkers in India and around the world to find courage and face the challenges of life with spiritual grace and peaceful determination. In the words of Shri Krishna: "My dear Arjuna, armed with Yoga, stand and fight." Albert Einstein When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous. Aldous Huxley The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.
