The Bhagavad Gita (/bvdit/;[1] Sanskrit:, IPA: [bdit], romanized: bhagavad-gt, lit.'god's Song'),[a] often referred to as the Gita (IAST: gt), is a Hindu scripture dated to the second or first century BCE,[3][4][5][6] which forms part of the Epic Mahabharata. It is a synthesis of Brahmanical (dharma) and non-Brahmanical (yoga, bhakti) traditions[b]; and holds a unique pan-Hindu influence as the most prominent sacred text.
