Why to Read Bhagwat Geeta?






This is not an ordinary book, this is a miracle of God. Your Phobia's and Fear will disappear as soon as you read it.

The seven hundred concise verses of Bhagwat Geeta is the jewel of India’s spiritual wisdom. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs “Self realization” is rated at the top, Bhagwat Geeta directs us towards Self realization and answers questions like Who am I and What Is my relationship with the God?

It was spoken by Lord Shri Krishna at the time of battle to his intimate devotee Arjuna. The beginning of lord’s transcendental words is triggered by symptoms of depression shown by Arjuna.

In the Journey of life we witness so many events, mishaps or failures which makes us depressed, which puts us in acute mental pain that increases negativity and hopelessness among us. Mahatma Gandhi once said” When doubts haunt me, When disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagwat Geeta and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow.

Arjuna who was kshatriya (Warrior) by birth had forgotten about the characteristics of a Kshatriya. In the last chapter of Bhagwat Geeta Lord Shri Krishna reminded him about it and immediately he said “I have regained my memory by your mercy and I am free from doubt”.

Bhagwat Geeta is the best tranquility pill the mind kind has got. A Crying face turns into smiling face within no time. Not only is it the biggest stress buster but it is the best remedy for problems like fear, anger, hatred, lust and greed. For devotees these are the biggest hurdles in the path of self realization.

Anger backed by hatred brings about fights amongst the people but when we read Bhagwat Geeta there will not be any such feeling that provokes us to fight. If you are constantly reading Geeta, you will feel sad for the person who is fighting with you or who wants to fight with you because he may have sleepless nights feeling jealous or envious about you but you will always find yourself in happy and cheerful mood.

The 16th chapter of Bhagwat Geeta helps us identify good and the bad qualities in us. Are we having demoniac qualities or we have some transcendental qualities in us? The Constant reading of Bhagwat Geeta decreases demoniac qualities and increases transcendental qualities.


For the souls who have completely surrendered to the lord Shri Krishna, Bhagwat Geeta teaches how to surrender to the god, how to please the god, why to please the god and what is required to please the god.

By reading Bhagwat Geeta we get closer to god and understand

1.What is what is right and wrong?

2.How to do your job

3. How to do Meditation

4. How to die, where we go after death and how we go

5.How to please the god while doing your job


The faithful reading of god’s word washes all sins of a human being and those who follow it, is blessed with pure devotion of Krishna which is the greatest gift a man can ever get.

One who is not connected with the supreme can have neither transcendental intellegence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace. (2.66)


So for Intellgence, steady mind, peace and hapiness read it and Distribute it and be krishna's soldier
