Bhagavatgita

 

Bhagavtgita is extolled in Mahbharatha as follows:

 

geethaa sugeethaa karthavyaa kimanyaih SaasthrasangrahaiH

yaa svayam padhmanaabhasyamukhapadhmaath vinisrthaa

  

Why do we need other sasthras when Bhagavtgita that sprang from the lotus- faced Lord Padmanabha  Himself?

 

sarvaSaasthramayee geethaa sarvadhevamayo hariH

sarvatheerThamayee gangaa sarvavedhamayo manuH

 

Gita is the epitome of all sasthras. Lord Hari is the abode of all devas. Ganges is the essence of all sacred waters and manusmrthi is the summary of the Vedas.

 

Geethaa gangaa cha gaayathree govindhethi hrdhi sThithe

Chathurgagaarasamyukthe punarjanma na vidhyathe

 

To one in whose heart these four `ga'kaaraas , namely, geetha, ganaga, gaayathri and Govindha are found, has no rebirth.

 

bhaarathaamrthasarvasyageethaayaah maThithasya cha

saaram udDhrthya krshNena arjunasya mukhe hutham

 

                                           ( Mahabharatha- Bheeshmaparva)

Krishna churned the nectarine ocean of Mahabharatha, (which is panchamo vedaH) and took its essence and fed Arjuna as Bhagavath gita.

 

In the gitadhyanasloka of Bhagavatgita we have the same idea expressed differently and more poetically.

 

Sarvopanishdho gaavo dhogDhaa gopaalanandhanaH

paarTho vathsassuDheerbhokthaa dhugDham geethaamrtham

                                                                                            mahath

 

All the Upanishads,( the essence of the Vedas) became the cows the one who milked them being the son of a cowherd, the calf was Partha and the milk, gitamruta and the consumers of the milk were sudheeh the people with right thinking. who seek the wisdom of the scriptures .Arjuna was the calf to induce the cow to give the milk.

 

We shall enjoy the nectar of Gita drop by drop by taking the slokas one by one.
