1/ The first scene in The Bhagavad Gita is Arjuna (a prince and warrior) is faced with the prospect of civil war (Kurukshetra war) with friends, teachers and family on both sides of the battle over who is the rightful heir to the throne. He's overcome with sorrow at the lives that are to be lost, blood of his family that is about to be spilled, and doesn't think its worth 3 worlds let alone one world to go into battle for this, is pretty much frozen in his tracks, not knowing what to do.
Sri Krishna, who is Arjuna's charioteer and also the divine incarnation of everything that has ever existed, exists today and ever will, in an earthly form (because the Gods like to visit every now and then) -- comes to help him as his charioteer, and also to help Arjuna understand his path and what to do next. This is pretty much the premise of the Bhagavad Gita.
