Birth Death And Rebirth Bhagavad Gita
632 wordsThe Bhagavad-Gita is not an epic telling of the rise and fall of rival powers, or of the great actions of warriors.

Bhagavad-Gita teaches how to obtain control of mind and body. Human beings, according to Bhagavad-Gita, live in an illusionary, dualistic world. The world they perceive as real is illusionary; it is full of material ...

Bhagavad Gita N P
1,206 wordsKhrishnas Teachings Khrishnas teachings in the Bhagavad-Gita are very interesting. One of the most amazing scenes describes the battlefield and the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna.

The actual story describes the events taking place on Kurukshetra battlefield. This is the scene of spiritual awakening taking place in the edge between death and life, death an...
