The Bhagavad Gita has illuminated millions of lives around the world for centuries. It has inspired and informed major historical figures from Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau to Mahatma Gandhi, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and J.D. Salinger. For some, it is a sacred text, for others a spiritual guidebook, self-help manual, philosophical treatise, handbook of higher consciousness, or psychology text.
