Abstract

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit text embedded within the epic Mahabharata, has transcended its historical origins to become one of the most influential spiritual texts in contemporary global consciousness. This comprehensive review examines the profound impact of the Gita on modern spirituality, tracing its journey from ancient India to its current position as a cornerstone of worldwide spiritual practice. Through analysis of its core teachings, examination of its influence on prominent thought leaders, and exploration of its integration into diverse spiritual traditions, this paper demonstrates how the Gita's timeless wisdom continues to offer transformative insights for seekers across all cultural boundaries.
