Arjuna (from Bhagavad Gita)

Arjuna is a central character in the Bhagavad Gita, a revered text in Hindu philosophy. He is a skilled warrior facing a moral dilemma on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where he must fight against his own relatives and teachers. Overwhelmed by doubt and compassion, he turns to Lord Krishna, his charioteer, for guidance. Their conversation addresses key philosophical themes, including duty (dharma), righteousness, and the nature of life and death. Arjuna symbolizes the struggles of human existence and the quest for purpose, making the Gita a profound exploration of ethics, spirituality, and self-realization.
