19th Akshauhini answers all the questions about the Gita that are plaguing minds. The illustrative list of questions answered in this book are: How can Krishna who himself ran away from battle & earned the sobriquet "RANCHOR"(meaning one who ran away from battle) advise Arjuna to fight his enemies?
