Introduction to Bhagwad Geeta

One of the most amazing ancient literature available in the world is Bhagwad Geeta, commonly known as Geeta. This is the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna in the midst of the war, just before the commencement of the war. Given the extreme example of how you can manage the mind, the consciousness, yourself, that’s the whole essence of the Gita, not the war. If you can manage your mind in the worst scenario, then you can manage yourself in any situation. War field is usually not a place for knowledge. It is a place where all negative emotions like rage and anger go in full actions. But here, somebody is telling someone about meditation amidst of this huge war, where millions of elephants, horses, men, weapons and forces assembled, ready to fight. So, this is a big contradiction to begin with. If you have gone chapter by chapter, you will find many contradictions. If a very logical person reads the book, he will get more confused.   
The whole essence of the Gita is to act without being attached to the action. The skill of dispassionately putting your 100 percent. It's all about yoga, the skill, not about war but your attitude. When you are faced with a situation like war, how do you manage yourself? And if you can then manage your mind, any other situation becomes so easy for you.
