Bhagavad Gita is a holy book of the Hindu religion. It was written thousands of years ago. It has teachings said to be given by Krishna (a person whom many Hindus believe to be god in the human form). It the book, Krishna is talking to Arjuna an archer before a war begins. Krishna informs Ajunaa that he must perform his dharma, or his dutie for his caste, and go to fight. Krishna hesitates because he is fighting his friends but in the end listens to arjuna. He shall not be led into the under world for eternity for his sins because he will now be reincarnated.
