The Bhagavata Gita is attributed to the sage Vyasa. The work is also known as the Iswara Gita, the Ananta Gita, the Hari Gita, the Vyasa Gita, or simply the Gita. This is not to be confused with the Shrimad Bhagavatam, which is a Purana dealing with the life of the Hindu God Krishna and various avatars of Vishnu. In India, its Sanskrit name is often written as Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता (the latter two words often written as a single word भगवद्गीता), where the Shrimad prefix is used to denote a high degree of respect. Accordingly, the title has been interpreted as "the word of God" by the theistic schools, "the words of the Lord", "the Divine Song", and "Celestial Song" by others. The Gita in the title of the Bhagavad Gita means "song." Religious leaders and scholars interpret the word Bhagavad in a number of ways.
The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of Hindu ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti, and the yogic ideals of moksha. The setting of the Gita in a battlefield has been interpreted as an allegory for the ethical and moral struggles of human life. Vedanta commentators read varying relationships between Self and Brahman in the text: Advaita Vedanta sees the non-dualism of Atman (Self) and Brahman (universal Self) as its essence' Bhedabheda and Vishishtadvaita see Atman and Brahman as both different and not different while Dvaita Vedanta sees the dualism of Atman (Self) and Brahman as its essence. According to some, the Bhagavad Gita was written by the god Ganesha, as told to him by Veda Vyasa. Numerous commentaries have been written on the Bhagavad Gita with widely differing views on the essentials.
The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war, Arjuna faces. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfil his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through Karma "selfless action". Wondering if he should renounce the war, he seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. At the start of the Dharma Yuddha (righteous war) between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is preoccupied by a moral and emotional dilemma and despair about the violence and death, the war will cause in the battle against his kin. The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna, the Personality of Godhead. It is considered to be one of the holy scriptures for Hinduism. The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita ( / ˌ b ʌ ɡ ə v ə d ˈ ɡ iː t ɑː/ Sanskrit: श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता, romanized: śrīmadbhagavadgītā, lit.'The Song by God' ), often referred to as the Gita ( IAST: gītā), is a 700- verse Hindu scripture that is part of the epic Mahabharata (chapters 23–40 of book 6 of the Mahabharata called the Bhishma Parva), dated to the second half of the first millennium BCE and is typical of the Hindu synthesis.
