Zusammenfassung:"The Bhagavad Gita is a section (chapters 23-40 of book 6) of the first millennium BCE Hindu epic Mahabharata; it consists of a dialogue between the prince Arjuna and his charioteer, the god Krishna. In it Arjuna asks whether he should renounce the war in which he is engaged due to the violence and death it will cause, but Krishna advises him to fulfill the dharma of his warrior caste through selfless action. The Gita was not always the defining text of Hinduism; in precolonial times it was considered esoteric, for philosophers and theologians only. But when it was translated into other languages in the colonial period, not only English but also German (Friedrich Schlegel, Hegel, and Schopenhauer cited it), it was embraced by Indian nationalists like Gandhi and Aurobindo and assumed its current status, at the same time eclipsing equally popular schools of philosophy such as Vedanta."
