The Bhagavad Gita is a 700 verse scripture that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer, Lord Krishna, it is considered by eastern and western scholars alike to be among the greatest spiritual books the world has ever known. This is because the Gita reveals the eternal principles of the Soul, which are fundamental and essential for spiritual life from all perspectives and allows one to perfectly understand the esoteric truths hidden behind “existence” consisting of  “individual, world and god.” The knowledge is universal and the wisdom that is shared, perennial. Many great thinkers, such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and Albert Schweizer, as well as Eckart Tolle have all appreciated its timeless message.
