The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu gospel meant for the whole world. It is intended for the generality of mankind. The Gita is about The Pandavas, led by Arjuna and his brothers, who have come to take back the kingdom from Dhritarashtra, who intends to hand it over to his son Duryodhana, even though the crown rightfully belongs to Arjuna's brother Yudhishthira. Right before the war begins, Arjuna feels that a victory or the pleasures to be gained from it are not worth killing his own relatives and friends. Arjuna feels he would rather die in this war, rather than fight and kill those related to him. Krishna tells Arjuna that he must fight to win in order to correct his dharma and fulfill his duty as a warrior. Arjuna suffers throughout the Gita
