The Bhagavad Gita is the best known Indian scripture and a timeless manual for a more yogic life. The story begins on a battlefield, however it soon becomes apparent that it is in fact a metaphorical battle, referring to the ‘war within’. In it, the main protagonist, Arjuna (and indeed any reader of this scripture) is encouraged to examine his true inner self and adopt a moral, responsible and loving nature. The messages of the Gita are a guide to live a more meaningful, fulfilling and worthwhile life.
