don’t you want to see your friends successful in life, don’t you like to

inspire them, if yes then please pass this on so that they can know what was

the source of inspiration of great people

 

 

 

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 Bhagavad-Gita and

find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of

overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and

new meanings from it every day.

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.      

 

   

              

                   

         

                              

- Mahatma Gandhi

 

 

 

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe

everything else seems so superfluous.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a

few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu

scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he

should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,

'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought

that, one way or another.

The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its

devotion to God which is manifested by actions.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Dr. Albert Schweitzer

 

 

 

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.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Aldous Huxley

 

 

 

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.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Sri Aurobindo

 

 

 

In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy

of the Bhagavad-Gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its

literature seems puny and trivial.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Henry David Thoreau

 

 

 

The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of lifes

wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Herman Hesse

 

 

 

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.

 

   

               

               

               

               

       - Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

 

 

 

I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-Gita. It was the first of books; it

was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene,

consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate

had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - 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 montheistic deity and at the

same time the attributes of the Upanisadic absolute.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

 

In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full

understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Rudolph Steiner

 

 

 

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.

The secret of karma yoga which is to perform actions without any fruitive

desires is taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita.

 

   

               

               

               

               

        - Swami Vivekananda

 

 

 

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

Krishnas primary purpose for descending and incarnating is relieve the world of

any demoniac 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.

 

   

               

               

               

               

               

    - Ramanuja

 

 

 

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.

 

   

               

               

               

               

               

    - Adi Sankara

 

 

 

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

 

   

               

               

               

               

    - Paramahansa Yogananda

 

 

 

Nothing has ever arisen in my life, internal or external, that the Gita has not

made clear and enabled me to deal with or understand.

 

   

               

               

               

               

    - Swami Nirmalananda Giri

 

 

 

The Gita is the universal mother. I find a solace in the Bhagavadgeeta that I

miss even in the Sermon in the Mount. When disappointment stares me in the face

and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go back to the Bhagavad Gita. I

find a verse here and a verse there, and I immediatly begin to smile in the

midst of overwhelming tragedies - and my life has been full of external

tragedies - and if they have left no visible or indelible scar on me, I owe it

all to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita.
