Gita began with the creation

Unlike most people, I strongly believe that Gita not only belongedto the earlier aeon which is mentioned as Dwaparayuga in the epics ….but also existed right from the time of creation. The Supreme lord himself made it crystal clear that it was taught by him to the ‘Sun’ first.

Sri Bhagavanuvacha ..

This is the basis of my concept titled “PRATYAKSHA GITA” the reason being “ the Sun shines every day ever since he was endowed with the power of diffusing light capable of illuminating and enlivening the world.

The royal sages inherited the divine knowledge one by one. But as is the case of usage of any valuable thing, practice of Gita also slowly faded out due to passage of innumerable years.. O Parantapa (Arjuna).

This Supreme Secret which is the pristine yoga is revealed to you because you are my devotee and friend too. (chap 4 – verse 3).

Bhagavadgita or shortly Gita is a book of Life standards or moral values set by none other than God to enable a peaceful and ideal life of humankind. Gita is a book of all time.

Gita which was taught to Arjuna by the Blessed lord (ShriBhagvan) in a warlike situation that arose in the former’s mind overpowered by misplaced attachment at a right hour.

Gita was an extensive teaching by Bhagavan in over 700 verses to remove his friend, and disciple Arjuna’s wrongly placed attachment. Actually, the Supreme Lord wanted to provide him with the needed dutifulness along with detachment to make him overcome Arjuna’s emotional outburst. As a result, ‘NashtomohahSmritirlabdhva’ (Disappearance of delusion and dawn of self-realization) state comes to Arjuna who turns ambidexterous hero as before from the abivalent state of zero.

Role of Gita behind independence …..

Mahatma Gandhi who drew inspiration from the Song Celestial (Divine song) written by Edwin Arnold, a British sonnet writer. This happened when Gandhi was in London for higher studies to become a barrister.

There the law students were regularly reciting the ‘Song Celestial (the sonnet of Gita)’ and Gandhiji also accompanied them. This is a clear proof that foreigners were interested in Gita.

After facing many a bitter incident in his life, Gandhi stopped advocacy and chose to lead a saintly life. During the British rule, the Indians were treated as slaves. The injustice faced by his countrymen prompted him to dedicate his life to unshackle India from the British who came to our country under the pretext of trade and encroached our motherland.

At this juncture,Gandhiji not only studied Gita but lived Gita. He picked up the two rare gems “truth and non violence” from Gita andsuccessfully implemented them in the freedom struggle. The non cooperation movement (Asahayogandolan) and protest by expressing truthful anger (Satyagraha), all these, for a just causeand in a non violent manner.
