It is a 700-verse text in Sanskrit which comprises chapters 23 through 40 in the Bhishma-Parva section of the Mahabharata. karmapy ekam tasya devasya seva: and let there be one work only - the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.Bhagavad Gita, also known as the Gita - 'The Song of God' is a practical guide to one's life that guides one to re-organise their life, achieve inner peace and approach the Supreme (the Ultimate Reality). eko mantras tasya namani: and one hymn, one mantra, one prayer - the chanting of His Name: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. eko devo devaki-putra eva: let there be one God for the whole world, Sri Krishna. Therefore, ekam sastram devaki-putra-gitam: let there be one scripture only, one common scripture for the whole world, Bhagavad-gita. In this present day, people are very much eager to have one scripture, one God, one religion, and one occupation. Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad-gita.” (gita-mahatmya 6) ekam sastram devaki-putra-gitam “This Gitopanisad, Bhagavad-gita, the essence of all the Upanishads, is just like a cow, and Lord Krishna, who is famous as a cowherd boy, is milking this cow. 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-gita is even more important than the water of the Ganges. “One who drinks the water of the Ganges attains salvation, so what to speak of one who drinks the nectar of Bhagavad-gita? Bhagavad-gita is the essential nectar of the Mahabharata, and it is spoken by Lord Krishna Himself, the original Visnu.” (gita-mahatmya 5)īhagavad-gita comes from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the Ganges is said to emanate from the lotus feet of the Lord. 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. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. “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-mahatmya 3) gita su-gita kartavyaīecause Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. Do not fear.” Thus the Lord takes all responsibility for one who surrenders unto Him, and He indemnifies such a person against all reactions of sins. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. “Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. “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.” (gita-mahatmya 2) The Lord says very loudly in the last portion of Bhagavad-gita (18.66): sarva-dharman parityajya There is also a further advantage: gitadhyayana-silasya Visnoh padam avapnoti bhaya-sokadi-varjitah.
