What is the meaning of the Bhgavad Gita?

Answer 1

Lord Krishna descends specifically to reestablish the real purpose of life when man forgets that purpose. Even then, out of many, many human beings who awaken, there may be one who actually enters the spirit of understanding his position, and for him this Bhagavad-gita is spoken. Actually we are all swallowed by the tigress of nescience, but the Lord is very merciful upon living entities, especially human beings. To this end He spoke the Bhagavad-gita, making His friend Arjuna His student.

Being an associate of Lord Krishna, Arjuna was above all ignorance, but Arjuna was put into ignorance on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra just to question Lord Krishna about the problems of life so that the Lord could explain them for the benefit of future generations of human beings and chalk out the plan of life. Then man could act accordingly and perfect the mission of human life.

The subject of the Bhagavad-gita entails the comprehension of five basic truths
1. Isvara-the supreme controller,
2. Jivas -the controlled living entities.
3. Prakrti-the material nature
4. Kala- time (the duration of existence of the whole universe or the manifestation of material nature)
5. karma (activity) are also discussed.

The cosmic manifestation is full of different activities. All living entities are engaged in different activities. From Bhagavad-gita we must learn what God is, what the living entities are, what prakrti is, what the cosmic manifestation is, how it is controlled by time, and what the activities of the living entities are.

Answer 2

I haven't read it in a while but from what I can remember it revolves around a war where Krishna is speaking with Arjuna. Arjuna is contemplating a decision and Krishna (God) is his helper but he is advising him. During this Krishna explains his role in the universe and how he relates to all things. He also explains that by making whatever decision one makes you are glorifying him because everything is him.

It helped Arjuna realize that whatever decision he made was the correct one.

something like that.

I think it was about a war between 2 families or something. I have to reread it.

Answer 4

Gita used to be a character in 'Eastenders'.

Answer 5

It is Krishna instructing Arjuna in Yoga. Actually several forms of Yoga - karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga, etc.

Have you read it? If not, that is a way of finding out its meaning. It is not that long of a book (if you skip commentary).

It is a deep and profound book. I read it occasionally...as do I occasionally read the Bible.
