On the next pages you will find "The Contents of the Bhagavad Gita Summarized", which is its second chapter and which contains 72 verses.
Bhagavad Gita appears in the Mahabharata, an ancient Vedic epic. It is considered sruti, which means “that which is learned through hearing”. This is so because it is spoken for by Krishna, God, the Unlimitedly Playful and Naughty One, who also happens to be the Almighty One in the material universe. Part of the scene is Arjuna, a warrior who faces a war he does not want to fight and with which Krishna has a dialogue.
