Central divine teacher of the Bhagavad Gita — the avatar of Vishnu who reveals the Gita's philosophical teachings to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Reveals the path of selfless action (nishkama karma): perform your dharma without attachment to results. Teaches the atman's immortality, the paths of knowledge (jnana), devotion (bhakti), and action (karma) as routes to liberation. The cosmic form (vishvarupa) reveals the divine as the ground of all existence.
