Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 4
Question:—Why did the Lord teach this Yoga to the sun-god, at the beginning of creation?
In fact, this teaching imparted by Lord Krsna (the manager of the world-theatre), to the sun-god, is a drama staged by Him, for the welfare of the world. As Lord Krsna taught Arjuna, the incarnation of Nara, the wise sage, for the welfare of the world, so did He teach, this Yoga to the sun-god, the embodiment of knowledge, for the welfare of the entire world. This Yoga has done a lot of good to the world, is doing and will continue to do, in future also.
