Most Important Shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita

Join Cultural Samvaad’s WhatsApp community

Editor’s Note: The Srimad Bhagavad Gita or the ‘Song of God’ is probably unparalleled not only in Indian thought but also across global philosophy. The 700 odd shlokas in Sanskrit that Bhagwan Shri Krishna narrates to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra are akin to an unfathomable ocean of wisdom and India’s gift to the world. We have curated a handful of these most important shlokas which are part of our daily discourse. They have been presented here as a book, a video and a note. We hope that you enjoy them and circulate them to your loved ones.
