The Bhagavad Gita, as presented in the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) edition, is a foundational text of Hindu philosophy and spirituality. It is a 700-verse scripture that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. In this edition, the Gita is often accompanied by commentary from A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON.
The text is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. This conversation takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just before a great war is set to begin. The Bhagavad Gita addresses key concepts such as duty (dharma), righteousness, devotion, and the nature of reality.
ISKCON's version emphasizes devotional service to Krishna as the path to spiritual enlightenment and liberation, reflecting the organization's focus on Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion).
