A masterpiece of scriptural literature, Bhagavad-gītā is a sacred song in the form of a battlefield dialogue between the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, His friend and disciple. Kṛṣṇa, acting as Arjunas advisor, instructs him in the science of self-realization, teaching him how to live as a devotee of the Lord and to thus reach the eternal spiritual world while continuing to perform his earthly duties. Srila Prabhupadas Gītā , completely new in its authenticity, is addressed to all humanity, for it clearly teaches the purpose of the human form of life - to cultivate spiritual knowledge. This edition of the work presents this knowledge as it was originally handed down, without being adulterated by philosophical interpretation.
