Die Bhagavad Gita ist eines der meist gelesenen Bücher in Indien. Viele Inder tragen sie immer bei sich, um darin zu lesen und die Wahrheit zu verinnerlichen. Sie gilt als eine der wichtigsten Schriften im Yoga und hilft besonders, den Alltag bewusst zu leben und zu spiritualisieren. Wilhelm von Humboldt erhob die Gita zum "Schönsten, das alle uns bekannten Literaturen aufzuweisen haben.“ Seit Jahrhunderten wird sie immer wieder neu interpretiert und ist heute im Westen ein oft kommentierter klassischer Yogatext.

Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu.

In der "Bhagavad Gita", die als Einschub des großen indischen Epos Mahabharata etwa ab dem 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. schriftlich fixiert wurde, wird von Krishna, dem Wagenlenker, derselbe Weg der Erlösung beschrieben, den auch Christus weist. Hinter beiden Wegen steht dieselbe Kraft. Beide fordern die vollständige Hingabe an das Christuslicht, oder, wie es in der Bhagavad Gita heißt, an den Wagenlenker Krishna: "Doch wer sich ganz in Liebe mir ergibt, und mich allein nur liebt, erkennt mich so. Er, wahrlich, kann mich so in Wahrheit sehen; Mein Anblick ist's, der ihn unsterblich macht."
