We are reading from _The Bhagavad Gita_, translated by Laurie L. Patton, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Early Indian religions at Emory University, published by Penguin Classicsm New York, NY; and 

_Bhagavad Gita, Annotated and Explained_, translated by Shri Purohit Swami and Annotation by Kendra Crossen Burroughs, SkyLight Paths Publishing, Woodstock, Vermont. 

From Laurie L. Patton’s Introduction: “The _Gita_ is about a decision. Above all, it is about a decision to go to war.  Arjuna wonders, as perhaps all warriors do, about the identity of his enemies, and his ties to them. ‘With whom must I fight?’ He asks Krishna …. “The _Gita_ is a conversation in which Arjuna’s very being is transformed by his encounter with Krishna. Initially, Arjuna’s attention is captured by the sagacity of the advice that Krishna is giving. Over time, however, Arjuna understands that Krishna is, in fact, not simply a friend who helps him in a crisis, but a manifestation of God himself….”
