Gita Gyan · गीता ज्ञान

The Bhagavad Gita, verse by verse.

700 verses. 18 chapters. One conversation on a battlefield, between a warrior who has lost his nerve and the friend driving his chariot.

Each verse appears in Sanskrit, with IAST transliteration and a plain-English meaning, and each passage ends with its gyan, the takeaway. The particles move with the story as you read. New chapters are added over time.
