A Guide To Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is the most important religious text for Hindus. We call it ‘the most important text’ because we have several texts of almost equal importance. This is because Hinduism was not originated by a single prophet or a sage at any one point of time as in the case of the western religions. It evolved over a few centuries. Several sages had composed several texts during that period and all those are taken as important texts. We, however, study this text as it is a concise summary of the entire Hindu philosophy.
