@Kunalslab wow, thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to read the Bhagavad Gita, but never got around to it. Do you have any summarised notes, by any chance?
One of my favorite classic texts - Krishna counsels Prince Arjuna on his duties (dharma) as a warrior to go fight his cousins in a great battle. Arjuna has many questions for his guide Krishna, as they discuss why he should fight, family, attachment, action, and spirituality. Miller's translation to English is one of my favorites. If you enjoy this book, you may also like Peter Brooks' adaptation of The Mahabharata (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product...), which is the epic story of the background of rival families, training of the princes, and the epic battle that ensues after The Bhagavad Gita.
The concept of dharma and duties is a powerful one outside of much of Western society. I found it to be compellingly framed in the Bhagavad Gita. Thanks for posting this.
