India's philosophy, stories, and practices.
For thousands of years, India has asked what it means to live well. The philosophy, stories, and practices that came from that search are still useful. The Gita Project brings them together in one place and helps you find what they can offer your life.
The app starts with the Bhagavad Gita, a conversation on a battlefield between a warrior who does not know what to do when the fight is against his own family, and a friend guiding him. You can read it verse by verse in clear English, with the context behind the conversation and examples of how its ideas apply to life today.
The verses are only the beginning. The app also holds the story of the Mahabharata, the epic the Gita belongs to, and the people at its heart. It traces how the Gita has shaped thought, art, and public life in India and around the world. When you want to go further, it points you to books, talks, and practices from the teachers, gurus, and authors carrying Indian wisdom forward.
There is no required order and no prior knowledge needed. A few minutes here and there works, and so does following one question as far as it goes.
The Gita Project will keep growing. Meditation, yoga, and much more are on the way, and we will keep working until this is a home that does justice to five thousand years of Indian philosophy.
Everything here is designed to help you understand the philosophy, know the stories, and decide what they mean for you.
The Gita Project is independent. It is not part of any religious organisation or institution. Questions and ideas are welcome at sai@thegitaproject.world, and the Support page covers the common ones.
