    THE  GLORY OF GITA


           INTRODUCTION

 the GITA the Lord openly declares that he who follows His instructions in the shape of the GITA, will undoubtedly attain liberation. Not only this, He further says that even he who studies this scripture; will have worshipped Him through wisdom-sacrifice.

When such is the value of a mere study of Gita; what shall we say of the man who has moulded his life according to its teachings and initiates God's devotees into its secrets and disseminates and propagates its teaching among them. Referring to such a man; the Lord says that he is very dear to Him. It will be no exaggeration to say that he is dearer to God than His very life.

The Lord subordinates himself to the will of such devotees. Even in case of noble souls; it is found that those who follow their teachings become dearer to them than their own life.

 The GITA constitutes the Lord's principal mystic teachings. What wonder; then; that the follower of these teachings should be dearer to Him than even His life.

The GITA is the very life breath; the heart; and  the verbal image of the Lord.He who has his heart, speech , body and all his senses and their functions imbued with the GITA; is the very embodiment of the GITA.

His very sight, touch, speech and thought lend supreme sanctity to others ; to say nothing of those who follow his precept and example.

Really speaking; no.sacrifice; charity; austerity; pilgrimmage; religious vow; self-restraint and fasting etc.;stand comparision with the GITA.

 The GITA contains words directly emanating from the lips of Bhagavan Sri Krsna. Its compiler is Maharsi Vyasa.The Lord uttered parts of His discourse in verse, which the compiler Vyasa recorded exactly as they emanated from His lips. The part of it uttered in prose was versified by the compiler, and the words of Arjuna, Sanjaya and Dhrtarastra were similarly versified by him in his own words, and dividing the book of seven hundred verses into eighteen chapters, he made it an organic part of the Mahabharata. This is how the book has come down to us.
