Introduction
Bhagawat Gita is a great philosophical work it contains all the essence of Veda and Vedanta. The whole text is written in the form of conversation. It is written in the form of question and answer. Asking questions is an art and each and every question asked by Arjuna shows his intelligence. Lord Krishna answers each and every question asked by Arjuna and clarifies his doubt. In order to understand about Bhagawat Gita let us first understand about Mahabharata. The whole story circulates around Kuru Family. (Basu, 2016) Krishna-Dwaipayan Vyasa, himself a character in the epic, composed it; as, according to tradition, he dictated the verses and Ganesha wrote them down. At 100,000 verses, it is the longest epic poem ever written, generally thought to have been composed in the 4th century BCE or earlier. The main story revolves around the two branches of family the Pandavas and Kauravas they www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/wjer World Journal of Educational Research Vol. 8, No. 4, 2021 2 Published by SCHOLINK INC. fight in the Kurukshetra War for the throne of Hastinapura. (Basu, 2016) It was first narrated by a student of Vyasa at a snake-sacrifice of the great-grandson of one of the major characters of the story.
Including within it the Bhagavad Gita, the Mahabharata is one of the most important texts of ancient Indian, indeed world, literature.
Shantanu, the king of Hastinapur marries Ganga with whom he gets son Devavrat. Several years after he falls in love with Satyavati this is the root cause of all the events that will happen latter. Satyavati's father demands that he will agree for marriage provided his daughter's (Satyavati) son and her decedents will inherit the throne. But Shantanu did not agree for this demand but latter Devavrat vowed to renounce throne and to remain celibate throughout his life. Satyavati's father agreed for marriage by this way Shantanu and Satyavatis's marriage took place. Two sons were born to Satyavati and Shantanu couple but the elder one dies when he reaches adulthood. Therefore the younger son Vichitravirya was enthroned. Vichitravirya marriestwo princess with the help of Bhishma (Devavrat) but latter he dies soon after childless. Satyavati summoned her son Vyasa to impregnate the two queens. Vyasa had been born to Satyavati of a great sage named Parashar before her marriage to Shantanu. Thus by Niyogi custom the two queens each had a son of Vyasa the elder queen delivers Dhritarashtra (blind son) and the younger one Pandu. Vyasa also impregnates the maid of these queens and she delivers a son named Vidur. Dhritarashtra grew up to be the strongest of all princes in the country, Pandu was extremely skilled in warfare and archery, and Vidur knew all the branches of learning, politics, and statesmanship.
Pandu was crowned as king because Dhritarashtra is handicapped and cannot become king by laws.
Dhritarashtra's marriedGandhari, and Pandu married Kunti and Madri. Everything was going smoothly but Pandu announced that he want to go to jungle with his wives for some time and all duties related to kingdom was assigned to Dhritarashtra. Few years latter Kunti returned to kingdom with her five sons and with bodies of Pandu and Madri. (Basu, 2016)The five boys were the sons of Pandu, born to his two wives through the Niyog custom from gods: the eldest was born of Dharma, the second of Vayu, the third of Indra, and the youngest -twins -of the Ashvins. In the meanwhile, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari too had children of their own: 100 sons and one daughter. The Kuru elders performed the last rites for Pandu and Madri, and Kunti and the children were welcomed into the palace.

Triumphs of Dharma over Adharma
Lord Krishna clearly says that when adharma over rules Dharma, He will come to re-establish Dharma.
This does not mean that God will come only when there is grave destruction of Dharma. It is true that he is everywhere, he is everything and of course he is present well inside us also. But it only means that He will take his full power (manifestation) whenever needed. The important verses of Bhagavat Gita which conveys this message is (Chapter 4, Verse 7-8) For the protection of the good, for the destruction of evil-doers,

यदायदािहधम य लािनभ वितभारत।
For the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born from age to age.

The Concept of Dharma in Ramayan

The Concept of Truth in Quran
(Stacey, 2017) "Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah (obligatory charity); [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and ailment and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous." (Quran, p. 2, p. 177)

Wisdom is Powerful than Physical Strength
Arjuna, the third of the five Pandavas was the most powerful and renowned warrior and known for heroism. Before the battle begins both Duryodhana and Arjuna meets Krishna and asks for help.
Krishna agrees and he is ready to give two types of help they can choose whatever they want. One type is he is ready to give his army with all weapons they can use them. Another type is he will accompany with them in fight but he will never fight directly or will use his weapon. Duryodhana chooses the first one, thinking he will be the most powerful with more soldiers and arms with this he can easily win the battle. But Arjuna's choices was different he asked Lord Krishna to accompany him throughout the battle. Krishna agreed to drive Arjun's chariot during the battle.
Arjun is choosing wisdom rather than army power because wisdom is most powerful than anything else.

Review Related Literature
The investigator have reviewed two studies related to the topic under study (Pillai, 1999) in his study "Educational ideas in Bhagavad Gita and its relevance to modern world". The content of Education should include both the temporal and spiritual subjects so that the temporal and www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/wjer World Journal of Educational Research Vol. 8, No. 4, 2021 7 Published by SCHOLINK INC.
spiritual knowledge may supplement and complement each other; but priority should be given for the attainment of self-realisation. A properly educated person is one who is free from ego desire, anger, hatred, jealousy and selfishness. A real scholar or pandita his one who is not influenced by emotions. A perfect individual is a realisedsoul who controls his intellect by the self (Atman), the mind by the intellect,the senses by the mind, and the body by the senses. Self-Realisation as an aim of education is very often correlated with idealistic school of philosophy in Education. But the self-realisation as stated in Gita as an aim of education is very comprehensive.
(Bhagabati, 2009) "The philosophy of the bhagavadgita its upanisadic sources." The Upanisads as we have seen iscalled Brahmavidya or the science of reality which may be called monisticand idealistic.
The statement 'All this is Brahman (sarvamkhalvidam brahma), insists on the unity of everything that exists and they areidealistic in the sense that all are pervaded by the Supreme Consciousness, who is of the nature of self. It is the Real of all reals (satyasya satyam). The Bhagavadgita also refers to the reality of one Absolute Brahman whose nature is pure consciousness. It communicates the Supreme knowledge of the Upanisad to humanity. Brahman manifesto Himself in external material world and also as individual beings. The Bhagavadgita also refers to the reality of one Absolute Brahman whose nature is pure consciousness as Upanishid. It communicates the Supreme knowledge of the Upanisad to humanity. Brahman manifesto Himself in external material world and also as individual beings. In the Kathopanisad the work is compared to a peepul (asvattha) tree, which is uprooted and eternal in its branches are scattered below in the form of variety of existence. Similar idea is found in the Bhagavadgita also.

Methodology of the Study
The study adopted Analytical and Critical method for analysis. (shodhganga) Analysis is a very dominant philosophical tendency. It involves "breaking down" (i.e., analyzing) philosophical issues.
Analysis may be explained as an understanding of fundamental concepts, other related concepts, and interrelationship between these concepts. Critical analysis can be defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.
