657 - History of Gita: Greatest Boon to Humanity, Superhuman Science (Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Ch 4)

The history of Bhagavad Gita is traced from a remote time when it was delivered to the Royal order of all planets. Executive heads were obliged to impart this lesson to the citizens by education, culture and devotion. It began with Vivasvan, the Sun God, the father of all kshatriya kings. But then the disciplic succession was broken and lost due to unscrupulous commentators and interpretations. Lord Krishna assures Arjuna that because He is a devotee and a friend - he can understand the mystery of this transcendental science. Why is it a superhuman knowledge? How to receive the benefit of this great boon to humanity? Find out in today's episode. 📚 The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message | find the book links & all episodes at sravanamdiaries.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is/ | follow us on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube @sravanamdiaries | subscribe to the podcast through these links: podlink.to/sravanam
