Essential Message of the Bhagavad Gita: Nature, ABCs and Haiku ~Lalit Kishore

Nature of Bhagavad Gita Message ~rangarajan

According to Rangarajan. a devout follower of Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev who has written 'Bhagavad Gita As It Is,'Everyone of us know the value of newspapers in this material world. The nature of mundane news present in them are as follows: (1) False and imperfect - as they are presented by common man, 2) Short-lived - They loose their value and meaning by the end of day; (3) Does not appeal to whole world, and (4) Bewilders the minds of the readers But the spiritual news delivered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, 5000 years ago, is valid yesterday, today, tomorrow and is of course eternal. This message is not restricted to a particular locality but holds good for whole universe. Lord Krishna has mercifully provided the essence of Vedic knowledge through His teachings in Bhagavad Gita for the ultimate benefit of mankind."
