What Is The Bhagavad Gita?
The Bhagavad Gita (“Song of God” or “Song of the Lord”) is among the most important religious texts of Hinduism and easily the best known. It has been quoted by writers, poets, scientists, theologians, and philosophers – among others – for centuries and is often the introductory text to Hinduism for a Western audience.
Joshua J. Mark, World History Encyclopedia
Esteemed as one of the holy scriptures of Hinduism, the Bhagavad Gita, or simply the Gita, is a 700-verse poem contained in the Mahabharata, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. The Bhagavad Gita, whose title means “The Song by God,” was penned sometime during the second half of the first millennium. Scholars vary on pinpoint dating, but 500—200 BC is generally accepted.
GotQuestions.org
Written in the early centuries CE, the “Bhagavad Gita” is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata, and offered a reflection on the moral, philosophical, and religious issues at the heart of the epic. It is considered a concise point of entry for the study of Hinduism.
