Today is Gita Jayanti !!! It was today 5000 years ago Bhagavad Gita
was spoken by Lord Krsna to Arjuna at Kuruk Shetra. Granthraj ( King
of Scriptures) Bhagavad Gita ki Jaya!!!!!!
gita sastram idam punyam
yah pathet prayatah puman
visnoh padam avapnoti
bhaya sokadi varjitah
One who, with a regulated mind, recites with devotion this Bhagavad-gita scripture which is the bestower of all virtue, will attain to the holy abode of Lord Visnu, which is always free from the mundane qualities based on fear and lamentation.
(Gītā-māhātmya 1)
gītādhyāyana-śīlasya
prāṇāyama-parasya ca
naiva santi hi pāpāni
pūrva-janma-kṛtāni ca
"If one reads Bhagavad-gītā very sincerely and with all seriousness,
then by the grace of the Lord the reactions of his past misdeeds will
not act upon him." (Gītā-māhātmya 2) The Lord says very loudly in the
last portion of Bhagavad-gītā (18.66):
sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaḿ śaraṇaḿ vraja
ahaḿ tvāḿ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall
deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." Thus the Lord
takes all responsibility for one who surrenders unto Him, and He
indemnifies such a person against all reactions of sins.
(Gītā-māhātmya 2)
maline mocanaḿ puḿsāḿ
jala-snānaḿ dine dine
sakṛd gītāmṛta-snānaḿ
saḿsāra-mala-nāśanam
"One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one
takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gītā,
for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished."
(Gītā-māhātmya 3)
gītā su-gītā kartavyā
kim anyaiḥ śāstra-vistaraiḥ
yā svayaḿ padmanābhasya
mukha-padmād viniḥsṛtā
Because Bhagavad-gītā is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only
attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gītā. In the present
age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not
possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not
necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gītā, will suffice, because it is
the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is
spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
(Gītā-māhātmya 4)
As it is said:
bhāratāmṛta-sarvasvaḿ
viṣṇu-vaktrād viniḥsṛtam
gītā-gańgodakaḿ pītvā
punar janma na vidyate
"One who drinks the water of the Ganges attains salvation, so what to
speak of one who drinks the nectar of Bhagavad-gītā? Bhagavad-gītā is
the essential nectar of the Mahābhārata, and it is spoken by Lord
Kṛṣṇa Himself, the original Viṣṇu." (Gītā-māhātmya 5) Bhagavad-gītā
comes from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the
Ganges is said to emanate from the lotus feet of the Lord. Of course,
there is no difference between the mouth and the feet of the Supreme
Lord, but from an impartial study we can appreciate that Bhagavad-gītā
is even more important than the water of the Ganges.
(Gītā-māhātmya 5)
sarvopaniṣado gāvo
dogdhā gopāla-nandanaḥ
pārtho vatsaḥ su-dhīr bhoktā
dugdhaḿ gītāmṛtaḿ mahat
"This Gītopaniṣad, Bhagavad-gītā, the essence of all the Upaniṣads, is
just like a cow, and Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is famous as a cowherd boy, is
milking this cow. Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and
pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad-gītā."
(Gītā-māhātmya 6)
ekaḿ śāstraḿ devakī-putra-gītam
eko devo devakī-putra eva
eko mantras tasya nāmāni yāni
karmāpy ekaḿ tasya devasya sevā
(Gītā-māhātmya 7)
In this present day, people are very much eager to have one scripture,
one God, one religion, and one occupation. Therefore, ekaḿ śāstraḿ
devakī-putra-gītam: let there be one scripture only, one common
scripture for the whole world — Bhagavad-gītā. Eko devo devakī-putra
eva: let there be one God for the whole world — Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Eko mantras
tasya nāmāni: and one hymn, one mantra, one prayer — the chanting of
His name: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma,
Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Karmāpy ekaḿ tasya devasya sevā: and
let there be one work only — the service of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead.
