<br/><br/> The Bhagavad-Gita has been an essential text of Hindu culture in India since the time of its composition in the first century A.D. As, one of the great religious classics of world literature, it has inspired such diverse thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and T.S. Eliot. It is not a lyric but a philosophical poem, composed in the form of a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, the God Krishna.
