Gita can be read as History, but it leads itself to being an allegory.
Arjuna represents the individual soul.
Sri Krishna the Supreme Soul that dwells in every heart.
Arjuna's chariot is the body.
Dhrtarastra the blind king is the mind under the spell of maya ignorance.
the 100 sons are man's numerous evil tendencies.
The battle eternal going on between the power of the good and the evil.
That warrior who listens to the Lord speaking from within will triumph.
The model of life as presented in the Bhagavad Gita.
Every aspect of life is infact a way of salvation. lord Krishna tells of the innumerable ways to achieve peace of mind to resolve life's dilemma. It is applicable to any one in virtually any walk of life, its message transcends the limits of classical Hinduism.
