The Bhagavad Gita, meaning "Song of God," is one of the most sacred texts in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition. This profound spiritual dialogue took place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, just moments before the onset of the great Mahabharata War.

The Gita's teachings unfold as Krishna guides Arjuna through various systems of spiritual knowledge, ultimately revealing bhakti-yoga (the path of loving devotion) as the highest spiritual practice. While explaining karma-yoga (the path of selfless action) and jnana-yoga (the path of spiritual knowledge), Krishna ultimately emphasizes that pure devotional service (bhakti) to the Supreme Person is the perfection of all spiritual pursuits.

The Gita teaches that we are not our temporary material bodies but eternal spiritual souls (atma), parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord. Our natural position is to be in loving service to Krishna, and through devotional service, we can awaken this dormant love and return to our original spiritual nature.

the Bhagavad Gita offers practical wisdom applicable to everyday life while simultaneously revealing the highest spiritual truths about our eternal relationship with the Supreme Person, Lord Krishna.
