The Bhagavad Gita gives the essence of all the Upanishads.

It was taught by Sri

Krishna to Arjuna on a battlefield. Arjuna was a warrior prince, a hero, who was
beset by all manner of doubts when he had to fight his own cousins for his righ
ts.
Krishna told Arjuna to do his duty and where his duty lay as a warrior when on t
he battle field. He taught him the true nature of the soul, the universe and God
. He taught him the right way of action. The Bhagavad Gita is important to all H
indus, irrespective of their professions. It tells us what to do when we are in
a dilemma and how to do it.
.Invocation
There is but one science (scripture), the song of the son of Devaki, one God, th
e son of Devaki, one mantra
his names and only one duty, that is service to Him. I
pray for the grace of the ultimately blissful, the husband of Lakshmi, which ma
kes a mute person an orator and a lame person race up a mountain.
Namo Krishna, Namo Krishna, Namo Krishna Namo Namah.
