bhagavad gita
translated by ramanand prasad
Hinduism's most important, and popular, sacred text is the Bhagawad Gita, or 'Song of the Lord' - a poem of about 700 verses. It is just one section of the Mahabharata ('Great Epic of the Bharata Dynasty'), a work of 100,000 Sanskrit couplets, and is the longest poem ever written. It was composed between 200 BC and 200 AD by a series of venerated scribes, some of which were later deified by some Hindus.
