Description

In a critical section of the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna instructs Arjuna on the fundamentals of the yoga of action, (otherwise known as karma yoga) that the road to liberation does not lie in renunciation of action and neither does a person attain the state of actionlessness through physical renunciation.
