I think that Hinduism and its teachings and all the gods and characters involved are actually really interesting, which is why I wanted to read it. I think it would be so interesting to learn more about Hinduism.

Arjuna needed a lot of advice from Krishna, and this book is about how Krishna enlightens Arjuna. Sri Krishna talked with Arjuna and revealed “profound, sublime and soul-stirring spiritual truths, and expounded the rare secrets of Yoga, Vedanta, Bhakti and Karma” (Gita).

In Christianity, good deeds are wanted, as it says in Philippians 4:8-9, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Unlike Hinduism, however, good deeds aren’t needed in Christianity to go to heaven and achieve
