Nesta pesquisa, procura-se analisar as características e significado da guerra evidenciados no texto indiano Bhagavad Gita, pertencente à obra Mahabharata. Sua produção é posterior à dos grandes Vedas, os primeiros textos sagrados do que viria a tornar-se o Hinduísmo. Tendo seus versos inteiramente compilados durante o século IV AEC, a obra adquiriu o formato atual aproximadamente pelo século V, já que se acredita que o processo de produção tenha durado em torno de um milênio, por meio da tradição oral. É no Bhagavad Gita que ocorre o diálogo entre o deus Krishna e Arjuna, o herói da história. Neste capítulo, consta o ensinamento divino passado para o guerreiro, que trata do sentido da vida e do papel do guerreiro na sociedade védica, tornando a obra referência para a varna dos Kshatriyas (xátrias, a varna guerreira).Palavras-chave: Filosofia guerreira, Bhagavad Gita, Índia. AbstractIn this research, seeks to analyze the characteristics and meaning of war evidenced in the Indian text “Bhagavad Gita” that belongs to the book “Mahabharata”.
