description: 1882. The Bhagavad Gita permanently resides on the list of the greatest spiritual books of all time. The scene of this poem is a battlefield with the prince Arjuna pitted against his own family, but no sooner does the poem begin than the action reverts inward. Krishna, Arjuna's avatar and spiritual guide, points the way to the supreme wisdom and perfect freedom that lie within everyone's reach.
