The title "Bhagavad Gita" is a classical Sanskrit expression that translates literally into English as the "Song of God" or the "Divine Song." Composed as a sacred 700-verse Hindu scripture embedded as part of the epic Mahabharata, it captures the profound philosophical dialogue exchanged between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Through this dialogue, the text imparts eternal spiritual teachings concerning duty, righteousness, devotion, and the liberation of the human soul from the material bondages of existence.
