Bhagavad Gita
Song of the Lord', a Sanskrit poem, consisting of 700 verses divided into 18 chapters, that is regarded by most Hindus as their most important text -the essence of their belief. Almost every significant Hindu philosopher has written a commentary on the Gita, and new translations and interpretations continue to appear.
"Whenever there is decay of righteousness… and there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth… for the destruction of evildoers, for the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age."
Krishna -Bhagavad Gita- fourth discourse.
Whenever there is a decay of Dharma -Spiritual
Law- and there is an increase in adharma -thoughts, words or deeds that
transgress Divine Law- then a Great Soul must take birth in order to establish
the correct Spiritual Code for the era in which this happens.
