THE GITA IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN LORD KRISHNA AND ARJUNA RIGHT BEFORE THE GREAT WAR OF MAHABHARATA. ARJUNA REALISES THAT HE MIGHT BE DOING WRONG BY GOING TO WAR WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND IS CONFUSED. SO KRISHNA WANTS TO HELP ARJUNA BE SENSIBLE AND PUT HIS MIND AT PEACE. THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE GITA.
