The Bhagavadgita

The Bagavadgita is one of the most renowned texts of Hinduism because it contains discussions of important issues such as liberation and the nature of action as well as the revelation of the Krishna as the highest god and creator of the universe. It is included in the ancient Indian Mahabharata epic at one of its most dramatic moments, that is, when the final battle is about to begin. In contrast to many other studies, this book deals with the relationship between the Bagavadgita and its epic contexts. Angelika Malinar argues that the theology of the text delineates not only new philosophical concepts and religious practices but also addresses the problem of righteous kingship and appropriate use of power. The book concludes by considering the Bagavadgita's historical and cultural contexts and those features of the text that became paradigmatic in later Hindu religious traditions.
