Bhagbat Gita As It Is

 🙏Bhagbat Gita🙏

The Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer Krishna. At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own king . He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers and discourse constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces.
Numerous commentaries have been written on the Bhagavad Gita with widely differing views on the essentials. According to some, Bhagavad Gita is written by Lord Ganesha which was told to him by Vyasa. Vedanta commentators read varying relations between Self and Brahman in the text: Advaita Vedanta sees the non-dualism of Atman (soul) and Brahman (universal soul) as its essence,whereas Bhedabheda and Vishishtadvaita see Atman and Brahman as both different and non-different, while Dvaita Vedanta sees dualism of Atman (soul) and Brahman as its essence. The setting of the Gita in a battlefield has been interpreted as an allegory for the ethical and moral struggles of the human life.
The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of Hindu ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti,and the yogic ideals of moksha.The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga (spoken of in the 6th chapter) incorporating ideas from the Samkhya-Yoga philosophy.
The Bhagavad Gita is the best known and most famous of Hindu texts, with a unique pan-Hindu influence.The Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi; the latter referred to it as.

Why Should we read Srimad Bhagvat Gita

mámb hi pärtha vyapāśritya yepi syuh pāpa-yojana striyo vaiśyās tathả śūdrās te pi yanti parām gatim

kim punar brāhmanāh punya bhaktā rājarşayas tathā anityam asukham lokam imam prāpya bhajasva mām

Thus the Lord says that even a merchant, a fallen woman or a laborer or even human beings in the lowest status of life can attain the Su preme. One does not need highly developed intelligence. The point is that anyone who accepts the principle of bhakti-yoga and accepts the Supreme Lord as the summum bonum of life, as the highest tar get, the ultimate goal, can approach the Lord in the spiritual sky. If one adopts the principles enunciated in Bhagavad-gitā, he can make his life perfect and make a permanent solution to all the problems of life. This is the sum and substance of the entire Bhagavad-gita.

In conclusion, Bhagavad-gitä is a transcendental literature which one should read very carefully. Gita-śästram idam punyam yah pathet prayatah pumān: if one properly follows the instructions of Bhagavad-gitá, one can be freed from all the miseries and anxieties of life. Bhaiya-śokādi-varjit. One will be freed from all fears in this life, and one's next life will be spiritual. (Gitā-mähātmya 1) There is also a further advantage:

gitādhyäyana-śilasya pränäyama-parasya ca naiva santi hi pāpāni pūrva-janma-krtāni ca
"If one reads Bhagavad-gita very sincerely and with all seriousness, then by the grace of the Lord the reactions of his past misdeeds will not act upon him." (Gitä-mähätmya 2) The Lord says very loudly in the last portion of Bhagavad-gitá (18.66):

sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekari saranam vraja aham tväm sarva-päpebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah

“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." Thus the Lord takes all responsibility for one who surrenders unto Him, and He in demnifies such a person against all reactions of sins.

mala-nirmocanam pumsām jali-snänam dine dine sakrd gitämrta-snänam samsāra-mala-nāśanam

"One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gita, for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished.” (Gita māhātmya 3)

gītā sikkim anah śāstra-vistaraih yä svayam padmanābhasya mukha-padmad vinihsrtā

Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of God head, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not pos sible for them to read all the Vedic literature. But this is not neces sary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Gita-mahatmya 4) As it is said:

bharatamta-sarvastam vishnu-vaktra vini hardam
gită-gangodakam pitvā punar janma na vidyate


"One who drinks the water of the Ganges attains salvation, so what to speak of one who drinks the nectar of Bhagavad-gita? Bhagavad gitā is the essential nectar of the Mahabharata, and it is spoken by Lord Krishna Himself, the original Vishnu." (Gita-māhātmya 5) Bhagavad-gitä comes from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the Ganges is said to emanate from the lotus feet of the Lord. Of course, there is no difference between the mouth and the feet of the Supreme Lord, but from an impartial study we can appreciate that Bhagavad-gitā is even more important than the wa tear of the Ganges.

sarvopanishado gāvo dogdhā gopāla-nandanah pārtho vatsah su-dhir bhoktā dugdharm gitämrtam mahat

"This Gitopanişad, Bhagavad-gitā, the essence of all the Upanişads, is just like a cow, and Lord Krishna, who is famous as a cowherd boy, is milking this cow, Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad-gita." (Gită-māhātmya 6)

ekam śāstram devaki-putra-gitam eko devo devaki-putra eva eko mantras tasya nāmäni yänik armāpy ekam tasya devasya sevā

(Gita-mahatmya 7) In this present day, people are very much eager to have one scripture, one God, one religion, and one occupation. Therefore, ekam sästram devaki-putra-gitam: let there be one scripture only, one common scripture for the whole world-Bhagavad-gita. Eko devo devaki putra eva: let there be one God for the whole world-Sri Krsna. Eko mantras tasya nămāni: and one hymn, one mantra, one prayer-the chanting of His name: Hare Krishna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Karma ekam tasya devasya sevā: and let there be one work only-the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
