\"krishna-instructs-arjuna\"<\/a>This class is 3\u00a0weeks long.<\/em><\/h5>\n

The Bhagavad Gita is an eternal message of spiritual wisdom from ancient India. The word Gita means song and Bhagavad means God, so the Bhagavad Gita is literally the Song of God. Most experts feel the\u00a0Bhagavad Gita was written 2200 – 2500 years ago, although some experts say that it was written as much as 5000 years ago. The Bhagavad Gita is a conversation, set on a battlefield, \u00a0between Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna. It is comprised of 700 sanskrit verses contained within\u00a018 chapters. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna discusses topics such as ultimate truth, reincarnation, states of mind and liberation (awakening).
