The Bhagavadgita is one of the most renowned texts of Hinduism
because it contains discussions of important issues such as
liberation and the nature of action as well as the revelation of
the Krishna as the highest god and creator of the universe. It is
included in the ancient Indian Mahabharata epic at one of its most
dramatic moments, that is, when the final battle is about to begin.
In contrast to many other studies, this book deals with the
relationship between the Bhagavadgita and its epic contexts. On the
basis of a thorough analysis of the text Angelika Malinar argues
that its theology delineates not only new philosophical concepts
and religious practices but also addresses the problem of righteous
kingship and appropriate use of power. Malinar concludes by
considering the Bhagavadgita's historical and cultural contexts and
those features of the text that became paradigmatic in later Hindu
religious traditions.
