The Bhagavad Gītā is an eighteen-chapter dialogue set on the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, where Kṛṣṇa answers Arjuna’s refusal to fight. It teaches action without attachment to its fruits, knowledge of the self that does not die, and loving devotion to God, and reconciles them. It is among the most influential texts in Hindu thought and one of the three foundations of Vedānta.
