Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

GEETA IS A SACRED WRIT OF THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY Shri Maharshi Ved Vyas- Shri Krishn Era Before the advent of Maharshi Ved Vyas, no text of any pedagogical discipline was available in the text form. Departing from this tradition of oral and perceiving words of wisdom and knowledge, he compiled the antecedent physical as well as spiritual knowledge in the textual form of four Vedas, Brahmasutra, Mahabharat, Bhagwad and Geeta and proclaimed that, “Gopal Krishn has condensed the conclusion of all the Upanishad in Geeta to enable the humanity to alleviate itself from pangs of sorrow.’’ The Heart of all Vedas and the essence of all the Upanishad is Geeta, which was elicited by Krishn and provided sustenance to distraught humanity of reasoned doctrine and approach to perceive the Supreme Being. This has endowed the humanity of the ultimate means of Peace. The sage, from among all his works, earmarked Geeta as the treatise of knowledge and remarked that, the Geeta is suitable for being earnestly taken as the driving philosophy, of one’s activities of the life. When we have the treatise given to us which was uttered by Krishn himself, why ever shall we need to store other scriptures ? The essence of Geeta is explicitly clarified by the verse: एकं शास्त्रं देवकीपुत्र गौतम् एको देवो देवकीपुत्र एव। एको मंत्रस्तस्य नामानि यानि कर्माप्येकं तस्य देवस्य सेवा॥- (गीता महात्म्य)
