Ascribed to the Sage Vyasa, the \"Bhagavad-gita\" is a classic work of Hindu scripture which relates the story of Prince Arjuna who is faced with a decision with serious moral consequence, whether or not to go to war. With the armies arrayed on the battlefield, Arjuna in a moment of hesitation is counseled by Vishnu, the Supreme God, who takes the form of Krishna wearing the disguise of a charioteer. This work along with its larger counterpart the \"Mahabharata\" has been described as one of the most important works of scripture ever composed. A classic tale of Hindu spirituality, the \"Bhagavad-gita\" provides great insight into dealing with the morally ambiguous challenges that face us all.
