I wasn't sure what an appropriate question might be if I'm interested in describing what the nature of the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna says about the social system at the time. I'm still not clear about what time the text was written and by whom. I am also aware that this was a text made in reaction to Buddism. So are its principles of becoming detached from all material things in order to obtain Nirvana - releasing from the cycle of reincarnation- similar to those of Buddhism? I will appreciate your response and thank's for your time. Galina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
