"Tradition is a gift of past and transformation is a symbol of future. Man is related to the present more than the past or future. Man has to live in present. Treasure of past cannot be used in any work, and the dreams of future are also useless. Man should build his present, but the essential ingredients used for this purpose are not available in present. These have to be collected from the past experiences and the imagination of the future. The foundation of the present can be built on the bed-rocks of past and future."

                                                            BHAGAVAD GITA

The Bhagavad Gita also referred to as Gita, is a 700-v111 verse Hindu scripture that is part of the ancient Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. However, those branches of Hinduism that give it the status of an Upanishad also consider it a Śruti or "revealed text". As it is taken to represent a summary of the Upanishadic teachings, it is also called "the Upanishad of the Upanishads.

The context of the Gita is a conversation between Krishna and the Pandava prince Arjuna taking place in the middle of the battle field before the start of the Kurukshetra War with armies on both sides ready to battle. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma about fighting his own cousins who command a tyranny imposed on a disputed empire, Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and prince, and elaborates on yoga, Samkhya, reincarnation, moksha, karma yoga and jnana yoga among other topics.

                                                                 BHAGVAD GITA

“Yada-Yada hi Dharmasya
Glanir bhavati bharata
Abhyuthanam adharmasya
Tadatmanam Srijamy aham”
Means:

“Whenever there is a decline in virture/religious practice,
and a predominant rise of irreligion,
at that time, I descend Myself, i.e.
I manifest Myself as an embodied being”

How true these words are. For the upliftment and betterment of mankind, God always take initiative. The Holy Hindu Scripture “Bhagwad Gita” is the example of HIS kindness towards humanity.

The Bhagvad Gita is a holy Hindu Scripture that is a part of the ancient Sanskrit Epic “Mahabharata”. It is the essence of Vedas and Upanishads. It is also known as “The Upanishad of the Upnishads” and has total 18 Chapters consisting of 700 verses.

It is the conversation between Lord Krishna and one of the Prince of five Pandavas, namely Arjuna, to whom, Lord Krishna used to address as ‘Parth’. Actually it is the preaching of Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield before the start of Kurukshetra War. It was that phase when Arjuna was confused and was in dilemma that how to start battle with his own near and dears, his revered teachers and his cousins?

At that moment, Lord Krishna, who was the ‘Sarathi’ of Arjuna, explained him, his duties as a warrior, as a Prince and as a human being. In the preachings of Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna elaborated Yoga, Samkhya, Reincarnation, Moksha, Karma Yoga & Jnene Yoga etc. to Arjuna. If we go into the depth of all the above, we realize that It is the kindness of Lord that through his conversation with Arjuna during Kurukshetra war, he conveyed the great messages of Gita to the entire humanity.

Bhagwad Gita also stressed that we all came empty handed and will leave empty handed, so, whatever we do, we must do it as a dedication to God.

The Bhagwad Gita explains us that there is a great relation between ‘Atma and Parmatma’. We all are the creation of God. It is only ‘He’ to whom we must offer our entire life.

Bhagvad Gita instructs mankind about the nature of correct actions and the role of God in protecting his devotees. It tells us that soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.

Nainam dahati pavakah
Na chainam kledayanty apo
Na sosayati marutah”
