  • The root of Sanathana Dharma relegion is from our Holy Land Bharat Varsh. Our vedic literatures are absolutely scientific applicable for all classes of people(entire mankind) for their spiritual upliftement and has solutions to entire problems of life plaguing the society as a whole. Considering its greatness and the wealth of knowledge ; it should not only be a national book but an international standard holy book of mankind.

    There is no problem in saying "Make Gita a National book". But there is a lot of difference a true devotee saying the above statement and a politician saying the above statement. No doubt - mostly a politician saying the above statement is politically motivated - which can be converted into votes in ballot box. But for a true devotee saying the above statement is out of compassion. He wants to remove the suffering of people and hence he wants to make gita a national book.


    Also I am unable to see a single verse in Gita in which Krishna says " Make Gita a National book of India".

    In what way making Gita a national book of India is going to serve Krishna. Krishna is very sad to see his children suffering in the material world. By Making gita a national book of India, if there is a chance that it is going to remove suffering of atleast few souls, then making gita a national book, will make Krishna happy. Hence in such a situation making Gita a national book is meaningfull as we are serving Krishna. Otherwise if there is no way such an activity is not going to serve Krishna it is waste of time.

    The answer is - isnt India a Hindu majority country? Would this question be asked in any Muslim dominated country or in Christian dominated country? Why should we be apologetic about being Hindu and about our rich scriptural heritage. The information given in Gita is timeless and relevant to all mankind. There can be only one national book - like a national flag, a national anthem - thats why.

    • Mataji,

      Wouldn't this be like dominating people saying you are minority and so our book has to be the national book. Then that will be like dictatorship and not democracy. I mean, there are many religions residing in this country.

      I think the answer should be relevant to the book and not to the people and majority. Why this book? What's there in this book which is not there in other books? and How it helps humanity as a whole? etc..

      • Hare krishna prbhu ji,

        People are quarreling about the Gita that it should be national book or not. In fact, this Bhagwad Gita is not only 5000 years ago old but this spiritual knowledge has already been spread out throughout the universe and in the beginning, it was spoken by supreme personality Krishna to Surya Dev (this is already mentioned in Gita that this knowledge is not new eventhough this has already spoken in the start of universe but latter on, it was disappeared from the earth).

        so only for again appearance in the universe, krishna spoken to Arjuna in the battle of Kurukshetra at the 5000 years ago.

        Since the opposition parties are claiming that this is hindu book but this is sanatan dhama and is followed by every person due to we are not body, we are only soul. So, the greatest work is to serve the supreme personality krishna by this soul.

        hare krishna...

  • "Why only Gita and why not other books like Bible, Quran etc?"   - People are asking this question.

    Hare KRsna Prabhuji,

    PAMHO.

    Yes, why not? What she has said is quite true - if we read Bhagavad Gita everyday, our emotional, psychological and spiritual needs are taken care of. The mental diseases like depression have no place in our life. There is so much positivity just by keeping Gita in the house, then how much more would there be by reading and following it.

    It should not be considered a Hindu book. Anyone who has read Gita and understood even a little will know that it is sanatan dharma - the basic characterictic of every human being - to serve.

    It will help in moulding society by making people more humble, more accepting of their situation, more God fearing and God loving. This will reduce unwanted population and the vices of modern society can be taken care of - women will automatically feel safer.

    It will have domino effect - in a positive manner, in the whole society.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Rashmi
