GITA — BIBLE OF HUMANITY

Gita is the cream of the Upanishads. It is the crest-jewel of Mahabharata. It is an epitome of all the Vedic teachings.

Lord Krishna gave His Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra and through Arjuna to the whole world at large.

Gita is an Upanishad. It is Brahma Vidya, the science of Brahman. It is Yoga Sastra. It is the Bible of humanity at large.

The Upanishads are the cows, the Divine cowherd Krishna is the milkman, Arjuna is the calf, a wise man is the drinker of the milk and the nectar-like Gita is the immortal milk.

The teachings of the Gita are valid for all times and for all religious life.

He who is assiduously practising the teachings of the Gita in his daily life is liberated. He is not tainted by Karma.

Millions of people have found comfort, solace and happiness in this great work. It serves as a light to all. It sets forth the fundamental principles of religion and Divine Life.

If anyone lives on the spirit of even one verse of the Gita, if he meditates on the significance of the Sloka, he will attain immortal bliss.

Gita frees man from sorrow and delusion and the chains of Samsara and guarantees him emancipation here and hereafter.

Practice of the teaching of a single verse of the Gita is sufficient to bring about a great revolution in one’s mind and a complete transformation of one’s life.
