Gita Today: A Common Man'S Approach To Shrimad Bhagwad Gita

Gita needs no introduction. The whole great Vedic civilization of Indians are known and related to the philosophy enumerated by this book. The sermon of Bhagwan Krishna to grief-stricken Arjun was told in the battlefield where two armies were standing to start the battle.Since birth every person starts his fight; one may call this as action or living. But it is a form of fight where we are not alone to live to act; we are always with our opponent offering resistance to us. The battle might get over due to our abandoning the fight but the cause remains alive kicking us in our brain creating a violent environment converting us into a person with ever-agitating complaining mind and intellect. The non-violence wrapped under the cowardice is more dangerous than the demonstrated violence.Throughout the teachings of Gita we can notice the tone of universalism in suggesting self-elevation for all irrespective of caste creed and education-level of holy texts - Vedas and Upanishads. Teachings of Gita have broken all those misgivings of a common man. One can also practice meditation by learning the knowledge of truth and can identify SELF as different from the material body. Uniqueness in teachings of Gita is its direct approach to a common man. It'suggests a direct relationship and communication between Man and God
