500 years back when Lord Chaitanya resided in Puri there was this

story. Lord Chaitanya was informed of a Brahman who was so illiterate

that he read the Gita upside down. So he went to see it was true, not

only was he reading upside down, but he was weeping tears of joy as

displayed by the Prema-bhaktas.

 

Lord Chaitanya approached the brahmin to ask about this. The brahmin

admitted to Lord Chaitanya that he is totally illiterate but his Guru

ordered him to read Gita daily. So everyday he opens the book and

doesn't know top from bottom. Yet whenever he opens the Gita he

imagines Lord Krishna, the supreme, acting as the chariot driver of

Arjuna (His devotee) and this thought makes him cry.

 

Lord Chaitanya told his devotees that THIS brahmana has truly

understood the Gita perfectly.
