Bhagavad Gita
A religious and philosophical didactic poem from the Mahabharata. The title means "Song of God." It was written around the 1st century. It takes the form of Prince Arjuna receiving instruction from the cowboy Krishna about the king's duty of fighting before the start of the Bharata War. As an epic poem that well summarizes the fundamentals of Indian religious and philosophical thought, it is still the holy scripture of Hindus today.
