Gītā arose from the super
consciousness of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the
Supreme God, the complete
Incarnation Purṇāvatār, and is
therefore considered Gītāśastra—the
essential scripture, knowing which,
one is liberated from all
incompletions, yaj jñātvā mokṣyase
asubhāt (9.1) and Gītopaniṣad—the
essence of all Upaniṣads, the purest
and highest knowledge to be ever
known and cognized because it gives
the direct experience of the Self—
pavitram idam uttamam
pratyakṣāvagam dharmyam (9.2).
INTRODUCTION TO BHAGAVAD GITA: SONG OF GOD
Gītā is the ultimate practical teaching on the inner science of spirituality that expresses as outer victory and success in life now and after. It is not, as some scholars incorrectly claim, a promotion of violence. It is about the impermanence of the mind and body, and the need to go beyond the mind, ego and logic.
The answers of the Divine, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, transcend time and space. Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s message is everlasting and joyfully performed, and is as valid today as it was on that fateful battlefield over five thousand years ago. The science of Gītā is the eternal technique of living in completion; the song of Gītā is the eternal life-enriching nectar, having no expiry date, time or age!
