The Kurus had usurped the kingdom from the Pandus in a crooked game of dice, which led to a war between the heirs of the royal house on the field of Kurukeshtra (located near present day New Delhi).\u003cbr\u003e Prince Arjuna, a stalwart warrior and one of the five Pandu brothers, is helped by Lord Krishna, his cousin and charioteer, who is also the Avatar (embodiment) of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna has come to earth to let good triumph over evil. When Prince Arjuna faces his cousins, uncles, teachers, and relatives whom he may have to destroy in battle, he becomes acutely distressed, lays down his weapons and refuses to shed the blood of his revered elders in the impending battle.\u003cbr\u003e Thereupon, Lord Krishna, his charioteer, explains to him the meaning of good against evil, of doing one's rightful duty (dharma), and of treading the path of righteousness. Arjuna is convinced that salvation lies in doing one's duty to the best of one's ability.\u003cbr\u003e Sanjay is the narrator of the story to the blind King Dhiritrashtra, who is the Kuru king. The story is told in 18 chapters, consists of over 700 couplets and is composed in Sanskrit by the sage Vyasa. The Bhagavad Gita immortalizes the epic Mahabharata and is read daily by millions of people all over the world. It is a treatise on the yoga of action; since we are given a life to live, how should we face it and live it?\u003cbr\u003e That is the message of the Bhagavad Gita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaroj Daulat Ram\u003cbr\u003e Georgetown, 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377313669427,"sku":"9781926926100","price":32.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/InPdERp00H9781926926100.webp?v=1779320994","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/songs-of-praise-based-on-the-bhagavad-gita-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
