Bhagavad-gita is the Bible of Indian spirituality and philosophy describing all aspects of life leading to liberation. It was spoken by Lord Krishna to His dear devotee, Arjuna on the battlefield of Kuruksetra more than five thousand years ago. No Indian thought is complete without this most sacred text, the Bhagavad-gita.

Describing the importance of hearing and reciting the Bhagavad-gita, Lord Siva narrates delightful stories to his wife, Parvati Devi. The importance of each chapter of the Bhagavad-gita is thus described in story format. These stories are found in the Padma Purana.

In these wonderful tales of wisdom from ancient India, are manly colorful characters like talking parrots, giant swans, and lordly elephants as well as kings, saints, and sinners who teach us how to get free from the endless cycle of birth and death simply by remembering the immortal words of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita (song of God).
