The first impression i got while reading the Gita was that it is one those religious scripture that tells us the dos and don'ts and the pros and cons if you adhere or violate them respectively. But as I gather basic knowledge of Vedanta through the audio classes my understanding got better and my attitude towards Gita changed a little bit. The slokas were wonderful to recite and meaning of them poetic as well philosophic. I started loving the Gita and continued reading it with my own effort.
Though many of you know a thing or two about Gita, I would like to share what i have learned from reading the Gita. I too, like the millions of us, believed Gita's main teaching is to proclaim, do your duty, do not expect benefits. But actually Gita has to offer to humankind more than what we think it possesses.
There are eighteen chapters in the Githa. This spritual text has been taken from the Mahabharatha, a monumental work of Veda vyasa. The Gita is essentially a conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna. Arjuna is one of the five brothers of Pandavas. Their cousins are kauravas who are numbered hundred and all their names starting with Dur. Duryodana is one among them and the most powerful, plays a siginificant role as the main villain.
