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 world. Part of the scene is Arjuna, a warrior, who faces a war he doesn’t want to fight and with which Krishna has a dialogue.
