The snowball effect this book had on society is really cool.
Read a much newer translation of this for class and I had a really good time. This is a very philosophical text, and I'm gonna eat up a moral dilemma every time. (Not gonna really give you a synopsis of the text because I'm just not in the mood for it while I'm writing this review lmao. Look at other reviews they go absolutely crazy on the synopsis anyway.)
The conversation (a very persuasive argument to be honest haha) Arjuna has with Krishna was so interesting to read I just was kicking my feet.
This novel has a lot of important values in it, give it a read in your life.

Let me start by Mitchell's version of the book is quite short but easily accessible, especially if you have never read any of the sacred texts in the Hindu tradition.
The Gita is a poem cycle that features a conversation between the Arjuna, the Prince who has grown weary of his family's war, and Lord Krishna in the guise of Arjuna's servant and confidant, the charioteer. If you have ever read works like Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet," then you will be familiar with the structure in which one person (usually Arjuna) asks a question and the other expounds at length on that and other related subjects.
Over the course of the poems, Lord Krishna deals with a whole subjects that are geared towards answering the question of how one lives rightly especially given one's duties and obligations. For Arjuna, this means confronting his ambivalence towards war and the killing that it brings. Lord Krishna's answer to him is rather interesting and has been the subject of many debates over the centuries. In the end, he leaves Arjuna to choose for himself
The Gita is often read as a standalone work, but can be read in context as part of the larger Mahabharata epic. If you have never read either, then it's worth some consideration. I for one, will be adding the Mahabharata to my reading list.
