WHAT THEY
SAY ABOUT BHAGAVAD GEETA.....

Albert Einstein 

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God
created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

 Mahatma Gandhi 

The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind
and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of
random desires and undisciplined impulses.

 Dr. Albert Schweizer

The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of
mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.

Aurobindo
 
The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a
living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new
meaning for every civilization.

Carl Jung

The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to
have been current in bygone ages. The link with Vedic concepts is provided by
Plato in his Timaeus in which it states..." behold we are not an earthly
but a heavenly plant." This correlation can be discerned by what Krishna
expresses in chapter 15 of  Bhagavad-Gita.

The Bhagavad-Gita deals essentially with the spiritual
foundation of human existence. It is a call of action to meet the obligations
and duties of life; yet  keeping in view the spiritual nature and grander
purpose of the universe.

Herman Hesse
 
The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful
revelation of  life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into
religion. 

 

Vivekananda

Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
The Bhagavad-Gita  is an empire of thought and in its
philosophical teachings Krishna has all the attributes of the full-fledged
monotheistic deity and at the same time the attributes of the Upanishadik
absolute. 

 

Paramahamsa Yogananda
 

The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee
Arjuna. 

Rudolph Steiner
 

In order to approach a creation as sublime as the
Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary  to attune our soul
to it. 

 

Adi Sankara
 

From a clear knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita all the goals
of human existence become fulfilled. Bhagavad-Gita is the manifest quintessence
of all the teachings of the Vedic scriptures. 

 

Aldous Huxley
 

The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of
spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear
and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its
enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity. 

Ramanuja
 

The Bhagavad-Gita  was spoken by Lord Krishna to
reveal the science of devotion to God which is the essence of all spiritual
knowledge. The Supreme Lord Krishna's primary purpose for descending and
incarnating is to relieve the world of any demonic and negative, undesirable
influences that are opposed to spiritual developement, yet simultaneously it is
His  incomparable intention to be perpetually within reach of all
humanity. 

Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Srila Prabhupada
 

The Bhagavad-Gita is not seperate from the Vaisnava
philosophy and the Srimad Bhagavatam fully reveals the true import of this
doctrine which is transmigation of the soul. On perusal of the first chapter of
Bhagavad-Gita one may think that they are advised to engage in warfare. When
the second chapter has been read it can be clearly understood that knowledge
and the soul is the ultimate goal to be attained. On studying the third chapter
it is apparent that  acts of righteousness are also of  high
priority. If we continue and  patiently take the time to complete the
Bhagavad-Gita and try to ascertain the truth of its closing chapter we can see
that the ultimate conclusion is to relinquish all the conceptualized ideas of
religion which we possess and fully surrender directly  unto the Supreme
Lord. 

 

Baladeva Vidyabhusana
 

Those that have the qualification to understand the
Bhagavad-Gita are of three categories: Those who are inherently reverent, those
who are verily righteous and sincere in the performance of their daily
scriptural duties and those who are of controlled senses. 

 

Madhvacarya
 

The Mahabharata has all the essential ingredients necessary
to evolve and protect  humanity and that within it the Bhagavad-Gita is
the epitome of the Mahabharata just as ghee (clarified butter) is
the essence of milk and pollen is the essence of flowers. 

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

 
Advise everyone to follow
the instructions of  Srimad Bhagavad-Gita as spoken by  Lord Krishna.
In this way authorised by Me become a spiritual master and redeem this world
