Parashara Gita, also known as Vishnu Gita, is a sacred text from the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It’s like a wise conversation between the sage Parashara and King Janaka.
In this conversation, Parashara shares important lessons about life, duty, and the path to freedom from worldly attachments. The text talks about knowing oneself, being good to others and staying devoted to God.
Parashara Gita teaches us that by doing our duties with love and without selfish desires, we can find true happiness and inner peace. It’s like a guidebook for leading a meaningful and spiritually fulfilling life.
