The Bhagavad Gita : The Song Divine



May Lord Krishna bless us all,

Vasudeva Sutam devam
kamsa chaanuura mardanam ||

devakii paramaa nandam
krishnam vande jagat gurum ||

In the battle ground of the Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra, huge armies of Kauravas and Pandavas were reposed to fight. From the side of Kauravas, stood the highly respectable people, including Guru Dronacharya, Grandsire Bheeshma (Who had the boon of immortality and dying as per his wish), Kripacharya and others. Pandavas, who were known for their intact religious beliefs and righteousness, had a small army compared to the army of the Kauravas. But on the side of Pandavas, on a beautiful chariot, was erect the greatest warrior, Arjuna. The chariot was immensely luminous. Lord Hanuman sat on the top of this chariot. But the most splendid thing about this chariot was it's charioteer. The charioteer being the supreme lord himself. Lord Krishna, the token of victory, one with a thousand hands, was on the side of Pandavas. He had taken the oath of not raising any weapon, and just acting a charioteer. The chariot contained four beautiful white horses. As the krsna led the chariot, Arjuna saw the grand army of Kauravas, which contained his blood relations. The army in which, there were his Gurus, brothers and others. He grew weaker. He left his Gandiva, and sat on the chariot, saying that he can't fight. Seeing the distress of Arjuna, the calm and composed Krishna stood up. The conversation that followed, gave the mankind, the most precious gift in the form of the Bhagavad Gita. The song of Divine, the words of Krishna. The god spoke himself. That's the actual beauty of the Bhagavad Gita.

       The Bhagavad Gita contains the most beautiful description on attaining God's realization, improving one's karma, gaining a better next life, and the reality of soul. But people over time in different versions, added a lot of matter from themselves, due to which the real essence of Gita lost somewhere. Reading from self should be done if one is able to understand the real essence of lord Krishna. We at Krishna's institute of Spirituality and Hiranyagarbha's attainment, teach the actual and real essence of the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita is divine, and as we see that the Bhagavad Gita are being sold online and elsewhere for such high prices, it's actually a business with no motive of spreading the Spirituality. As i see the name of authors written on the Bhagavad Gita, i wonder, how can a person write or author such a masterpiece work? Putting forward the meaning of the Bhagavad Gita for sake of people, and binding the greatness of the Gita in a book, cannot make oneself an author. It doesn't matter how high of a priest, Brahmin or head of a religious organisation, one is, the real author and narrator of the Bhagavad Gita is lord Krishna himself. No one has the ability to claim themselves as the author. We at Krishna's club, just transfer that masterpiece work in it's actual form for the sake and benefit of people. There is not a need to buy the Gita for more than fifty rupees. This work is actually priceless. You can collect the infinite knowledge of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita at our club for free. As it is meant to be.
Quite obvious, the presence of Krishna, led the Pandavas to Victory.
Arjuna literally means, one who can intake knowledge (Gyan ka arjan karne wala||). If one is able to partake the supreme knowledge, one is certainly the Arjuna, and highest warrior. One, with whom Krishna maintains a direct relationship.

Following are some Shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita : -

yadÀ yadÀ hi dharmasya glÀnir bhavati bhÀrata |
abhyutthÀnam adharmasya tadÀtmÀnaÎ sÃjÀmy aham ||4-7||
paritrÀÉÀya sÀdhÂnÀÎ vinÀÌÀya ca duÍkÃtÀm |
dharmasaÎsthÀpanÀrthÀya saÎbhavÀmi yuge yuge ||4-8||

sarvataÏpÀÉipÀdaÎ tat sarvatokÍiÌiromukham |
sarvataÏÌrutimal loke sarvam ÀvÃtya tiÍÊhati ||13-13||
sarvendriyaguÉÀbhÀsaÎ sarvendriyavivarjitam |
asaktaÎ sarvabhÃc caiva nirguÉaÎ guÉabhoktà ca ||13-14||
