Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord The way it begins and the way it ends, that gives the clue to the subject which it expounds. The very first verse starts with the words, "Dharmakshethre, Kurukshethre...", the word Dharma being the leading word. The last verse of the final Eighteenth Chapter speaks of "Yathra Yogeshwarah Krishna" and this word, "Yogeshwarah" sums up the Dharma that is taught. Thus, it is clear that the objective of the teaching in the Geetha is just this: "Remember Dharma; practice Dharma." How significant is this word! All Shastras are engaged in demarcating and defining the nature and subtle characteristics of Dharma. The Geetha incorporates this study and this analysis. It is a text-book of Dharma, in all its aspects. It discusses all the principles underlying Dharma. Source: Geetha Vahini, Chapter 1.
