Introduction
The fruits of our efforts are not for us to pluck; we must allow them to come, much enhanced through God’s own hand. This attitude in active life is perhaps the greatest counseling any religious scripture can offer. Because it not only urges us to dedicate our actions to the Supreme Power, it also lends more power to our elbow, through the endearing and enduring knowledge that each one of us is serving His cause.
Central to the world-renowned epic, the Mahabharata, the Bhagwad Gita enshrines Lord Krisha’s direct and dramatic revelations to the chosen one, the great warrior hero Arjun. Scholars say that within its eighteen chapters, the Gita holds the distilled essence of the multifarious and expansive teachings of the Vedas and the Upanishads. Thus, in a sweeping historic gesture of the Supreme Lord himself, the Gita is hailed as the accessible treasure house of wisdom, promising to illuminate every mortal soul who gets drawn within its orbit of influence.
Arrested in self-doubt and inaction, and poised between the two enormous armies facing each other in the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjun’s moment of reckoning was a blessing in disguise for mankind. He was privileged to witness Krishna transcending his worldly avatar and revealing his awesome cosmic image. Our privilege, centuries later in this faraway Kaliyug, is to have access to those words uttered by the Lord himself, still resonating around the divinity of the Bhagwad Gita.
