Madhvacarya The Mahabharata has all the essential ingredients necessary to evolve and protect humanity and that within it the Bhagavad-Gita is the epitome of the Mahabharata just as ghee is the essence of milk and pollen is the essence of flowers. Baladeva Vidyabhusana Those that have the qualification to understand the Bhagavad-Gita are of three categories: Those who are inherently reverent, those who are verily righteous and sincere in the performance of their daily scriptural duties and those who are of controlled senses. If we continue and patiently take the time to complete the Bhagavad-Gita and try to ascertain the truth of its closing chapter we can see that the ultimate conclusion is to relinquish all the conceptualized ideas of religion which we possess and fully surrender directly unto the Supreme Lord. On studying the third chapter it is apparent that acts of righteousness are also of high priority. When the second chapter has been read it can be clearly understood that knowledge and the soul is the ultimate goal to be attained. On perusal of the first chapter of Bhagavad-Gita one may think that they are advised to engage in warfare. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Srila Prabhupada The Bhagavad-Gita is not separate from the Vaisnava philosophy and the Srimad Bhagavatam fully reveals the true import of this doctrine which is transmigration of the soul.
The Supreme Lord Krishnas primary purpose for descending and incarnating is relieve the world of any demoniac and negative, undesirable influences that are opposed to spiritual development, yet simultaneously it is His incomparable intention to be perpetually within reach of all humanity. Ramanuja The Bhagavad-Gita was spoken by Lord Krishna to reveal the science of devotion to God which is the essence of all spiritual knowledge. According to the authority of Bhagavad-Gita these paths have been designated as the yoga of perfect actions, the yoga of perfect devotion and the yoga of perfect knowledge. There are three paths which lead directly to establishing a relationship with God. Without realization of our divine relationship with the God it is impossible to establish our eternal relationship with Him. This information applies to each and every one of us without exception. The knowledge found within the Bhagavad-Gita is incomparable as it gives specific information regarding the purpose of human existence, the immortality of the soul and our eternal relationship with God. It is our humble but earnest request that this information be made easily available to every culture in this world.
