Description
Srimad Bhagavad Gita holds a high place in Indian culture. This dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna on the battle-field of Kurukshetra is, as it were,

a complete expression of Indian philosophy. There is struggle in life and the situation of war is the culmination of the struggle. If the war is between loved ones, then the situation becomes even more serious. Arjun is in the same situation. There are those in front of him, holding whose finger he has learned to walk. His confusion, his pain is natural. His questions are valid. He is looking for such a guru who can get him out of this depression. Krishna plays this role and brings him out of depression to the point that he is ready to follow the path of Swadharma and Swadhyaya. The dialogue which can show the way in the situation of war can definitely show the way to every person in the society in his personal struggle, in depression. The importance of Gita is more because it is not the philosophy of an ascetic sitting in the caves of the mountain, but the philosophy that came out of the struggle. That's why it has more significance in real life. This book is an attempt to convey this philosophy to the common reader in simple language and interesting couplet style.
