About Bhagvad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita meaning Song of God is a 700-verse scripture. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar shares that the whole essence of the Gita is to act without being attached to the action. It's all about yoga, not about war but your attitude. The knowledge in Bhagavad Gita was given to Arjun by Lord Krishna on the battlefield. When you are faced with a situation like war, how do you manage yourself? The worst situation in life is when you have to face a war and when you have to fight not with an enemy, but with some of your own people. When you have to fight with your own brothers, how do you handle the situation? It's easy to fight a war with an enemy, someone you don't like. But fighting with someone who is part of your own family?

If you can manage your mind in the worst scenario, then you can manage yourself in any situation. Given the extreme example of how you can manage the mind, the consciousness, yourself, that's the whole essence of the Gita.
