At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause. He wonders if he should renounce, and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers and discourse constitute <em>The Bhagavad Gita</em>.

The Krishna-Arjuna dialogue covers a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces.</p><p><em>The Bhagavad Gita</em> is the best known and most famous of Hindu texts, with a unique pan-Hindu influence.
