The Bhagavad Gita
Song of the Lord — from the Mahabharata
Language: SanskritEra: c. 200 BC — 200 AD
Open in ReaderDescription
A 700-verse Hindu scripture set as a dialogue between prince Arjuna and Krishna (a manifestation of Vishnu). Presents multiple paths of "yoga" — action, devotion, knowledge — leading to liberation.
Provenance
A section of the epic Mahabharata. Widely translated; Edwin Arnold's 1885 verse rendering is public domain.
Christian Assessment
Krishna is a demonic counterfeit. The Gita's "many paths" doctrine contradicts John 14:6.
