The ancient Indian text known for its teachings on duty and righteousness is the Bhagavad Gita. This sacred scripture is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata and consists of a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. Within this text, Arjuna grapples with moral dilemmas surrounding duty, righteousness, and the nature of life and death as he prepares for battle. The Bhagavad Gita addresses profound themes such as dharma (duty), yoga (the path to realization), and the pursuit of truth. Its philosophical teachings continue to influence spiritual and ethical thought in Indian culture and beyond.
