Excerpt
from an article entitled The
Yoga of the Bhagavad-Gita by Jeffrey Armstrong.
The
Bhagavad-gita is the tip of a transcendental iceberg, the peak of
a mountain called the Mahabharata in the great epic history of
India. Set in the mysterious and opulent Asia of 5,000 years
ago, the 100,000 verse Mahabharata is ten times bigger than the
Iliad and Odyssey of Greece combined. In eighteen chapters
and 700 verses, the Supreme Lord Krishna who appeared on Earth at
that time in history, explains to His cousin and friend Arjuna,
all the most important truths of Yoga Philosophy and practice.
Each
of the 18 chapters reveals another aspect of Yogic learning and
practice until finally Arjuna is restored to his original Divine
consciousness. This same immortal text of the Bhagavad-Gita
has inspired thinkers in India and around the world to find
courage and face the challenges of life with Spiritual grace and
peaceful determination. In the words of Shri Krishna:
"My dear Arjuna, armed with Yoga, stand and fight."

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

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. |

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

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. |

David Thoreau
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 seem puny and trivial.
