A mellifluous
dialogue between a common man and the Cosmic Divine Being,
Srimad Bhagavad Gita incorporated in the Mahabharata,
an Indian epic poem, encapsulates the essence of all the ancient
Vedas. Written some 5000 years ago by sage Vyasa, Srimad
Bhagavad Gita is considered a Revelation consisting of
the quintessence of cosmic law in the eternal words of the
Divine Being himself.
The Revelation, often referred as the Fifth Veda (Pancham
Veda), was bestowed by Lord Krishna on the Indian prince
Arjuna in the battlefield of Kurushetra to dispel his inner
turmoil and spiritual darkness. Hailed by many as the renaissance
in Hinduism, Srimad Bhagavad Gita expounds on popular
doctrines of Karma Yoga, the yoga of self-less action
performed with inner detachment for its results, Jnana
Yoga, the yoga of knowledge, and Bhakti Yoga, the
yoga of devotion.
Srimad Bhagavad Gita transcends cross-cultural barriers
to hold common appeal for all humanity. It advocates the quest
for a higher Self and a personal God in our search for a more
meaningful and rich existence. The practical aspects of this
book help us in our day-to-day life and suggests an easy adaptable
way to conquer our inner darkness and attain the Supreme Being.
The most revered of Indian scriptures, Srimad Bhagavad
Gita, continues to be the fountainhead of profound religious
and social discourses in the modern age. The Chinmaya Mission
