Why Bhagavad Gita?
There is a common misconception among many people that Bhagavad Gita and Mahabharata belong to only those practicing the Hindu religion. The messages contained in the Bhagavad Gita are universally applicable to all, irrespective of their country or religion. It is not a religious scripture pertaining to a certain section of society.
Bhagavad Gita teaches us the right way to lead our life. The very purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to deliver mankind from the sufferings of this world. Every man is in difficulty in so many ways, as Arjuna was in, having to fight the Battle of Kurukshetra.
Bhagavad Gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upanishads in Vedic literature. If one reads Bhagavad Gita regularly and attentively, he can surpass the study of all Vedic literature.
