From the Vision of Eternity: 8 Life Lessons from the Bhagavad-Gita
The Bhagavad Gita has been studied and praised for thousands of years for its clarity, insight and wealth of spiritual knowledge. It not only contains the foundation for the system of yoga, it is the guidebook for living a meaningful, joyful life and facing death fearlessly.

The Bhagavad Gita begins dramatically with Arjuna, the world’s greatest warrior prince, casting down his weapons on the battlefield, unwilling to fight in the battle of his life. Overcome with anguish and confusion, he turns to Krishna who proceeds to guide him from darkness to light. The eternal truths of the Bhagavad Gita resonate just as powerfully today, shining light on our own battles and guiding us from confusion to clarity.
