About this listen

No time to read? Get the main key insights from this Summary of Eknath Easwaran's The Bhagavad Gita.

A few key insights from Chapter 1:

1. Sanjaya narrates the story of a war to the blind King Dhritarashtra. Despite not being physically present in the battles, Sanjaya has been given divine sight that allows him to witness and report all the events.

2. Sri Krishna, an aspect of God known as Lord Vishnu, advises and mentors Prince Arjuna before the battle, in which he is set to defend his brother’s claim to the throne against his family and friends. Thus begins the Song of the Lord, or the Bhagavad Gita.

3. Arjuna is reluctant to fight his own kin and sees war as an evil force that would destroy his family’s religion and heritage. He believes that peace may be negotiable if fighting stops. Sri Krishna then steps in to reveal spiritual truths to his subject.
