Since most people do not know Sanskrit, it is difficult for them to grasp the ancient texts and scriptures like the Vedas and the Upanishads. The Baghwad Gita on the other hand is the essence of the Vedas. It is called Gitopanishad. The Gita is meant for those who want to understand the purpose of their life, their duties,etc. it can be easily understood by people. It is part of the Mahabharata and is conversation between Krishna and Arjuna during the battle of Kurukshetra.
