Well everyone has heard a lot about Bhagvad Gita, but very few actually can get the actual knowledge hidden in Bhagvat Gita. One of such persons is His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada -founder of ISKCON. Bahgvat Gita As it is , is a exemplary work of translating the sanskrit verses into simple understandable english for a general mass of people.
The whole purpose of Reading Bhagavat Gita is not to solve our economic ,social, work or family problems, but to know the real pupose of our very existence. This great literature if read carefully and with full concentration will give you all answers to everyones problem. Bhagavat Gita is said to be the first step in the ladder of spiritual understanding.
One may ask why is this spiritual Understaning necessary. The answer to this is very vividly explained in the Gita. The First chapter starts with the real identity of ourselves as spirit souls and not the body which one is possessing. Hence we are trapped as spirit souls in these material bodies. This concept is very elobarely explained with relevant examples in the Gita. This is lesson one in Bhagavat Gita which further mitigates all the miseries and the misconceptions we are all illusioned under because of the bodily concept of life.
Thus Bhagavat Gita has in all 18 Chapters. Gradually as you advance through Gita , answers to the Questions like, Who are we? What are we doing here ? What is the purpose of our existence? Why are we forced to accept this body? Why are we sufferring various miseries? How to get out of this misery? What are the procedures to be followed? Who is the Supreme Being?What is his nature? How is he related to us ? any much more things are explained .
But the main purpose of Bhagvat Gita is to know GOD and our relation with him.
