The Gita Quotes

The Bhagwad Gita is a manual for life and living. The Gita presents the laws and principles on which life works. Well before there was any concept of ‘Hinduism’, thousands of years ago, our ancestors called themselves the arya putra or noble race. Or Bharatas (bha – light and rata – revel), those revelling in the light of Consciousness. The result of this philosophy was prosperity, harmony and spiritual growth. The philosophy created a conducive environment for people to reflect on higher pursuits of life.
The Gita was given to the gifted and honorable Arjuna when he got sorrowful on the front line at Kurukshetra, incapable to withstand the test of battling his own family members, instructors and companions. The message of the Gita given by Krishna resuscitated him in spite of the weakened state he was in.
