Srimad Bhagawad Gita - An Introduction


lead to the same destination.

The philosophy behind the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, therefore, is: not mere knowledge, nor mere action, but action with perfect knowledge, without any desire for its fruit and consecrated to God.

Teachings of Bhagwad Gita :

One must perform all duties in the world, without expecting the fruits of action

One must discriminate between inner self (soul) and non-self (body)

One must realize that everything that exists, movable or immovable, visible or invisible, is nothing but manifestation of Brahman (absoulte truth/utilmate reality)

A philosophical work on the meaning of duty, the Gita has been translated into almost all the languages in the world, and is the second most-widely translated book after the Bible. Most literate Hindu families have a copy of the Gita at home, while those who are not formally educated are still well-versed in this scripture and can quote liberally from it. This work is revered by all and while testifying in a court of law, it is on the Gita that a Hindu must place her or his right hand and swear to tell the truth.
