The Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Lord Krishna, who is considered the Supreme God in Hinduism. In the Gita, Lord Krishna serves as a divine guide and charioteer to the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
During the conversation, Krishna imparts spiritual wisdom, philosophical teachings, and guidance on how to live a righteous life. The teachings are presented in response to Arjuna’s moral and existential dilemmas about fighting in the war, his duties, and his fears.
Although Lord Krishna speaks throughout the Gita, he reveals his divine nature and supreme wisdom to Arjuna, providing profound insights into life, duty (Dharma), selfless action (Karma Yoga), devotion (Bhakti Yoga), and the nature of the self (Atman) and God (Brahman). His teachings in the Gita are meant to guide all of humanity towards spiritual liberation (Moksha).
