The ancient Indian text known for its philosophical teachings on duty and righteousness is the Bhagavad Gita. A part of the Indian epic Mahabharata, the Gita is a sacred scripture of Hindu philosophy that addresses complex themes of ethics, morality, and purpose in life. It consists of a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. In this dialogue, Krishna imparts wisdom on a range of subjects, including dharma (duty), yoga (the path to realization), and devotion. The Gita has had a profound influence on various spiritual and philosophical traditions in India and beyond.
