Not that you need to be told this, but for anyone else curious, the Bhagavad Gita is so much more than an old story. If you are interested in reading it, I recommend having it read to you by a master, else the old cultural symbology and references will be lost on you or otherwise completely impenetrable.

You are totally right on both counts, just didn't want to bias the description.

It's a fascinating read, also incredibly eye opening to learn things that have been known and taught for thousands of years in other parts of the world, while in the West it seems like we are just beginning to discover them (and maybe have actively rejected them for a long time as well).
