With original Sanskrit verses in Devanagari, Sanskrit transliteration and word-for-word translation. The Bhagavad-Gita (the Song of God) is the most widely read book in India. It is considered one of the most important classical yoga scriptures worldwide because it is practical and shows ways and means to skilfully combine everyday life and spirituality. The Bhagavad-Gita is a comprehensive dialogue between Krishna and his disciple Arjuna, who humbly addresses him shortly before a decisive battle. In this conversation, Krishna teaches him all about practical and philosophical questions of life and how to reach Him - the Supreme. Krishna's advice: Yoga helps us to find a more harmonious way of dealing with ourselves and the environment, awakens dormant abilities within us and is an ideal system of practice to achieve God-realisation.
