| THE ORIGIN OF BHAGAWAD GITA
Introductory Overview
Om ajnana timirandasya jnananjnana salakaya
Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namah
I offer my most humble obeisance's to my spiritual master who has opened my eyes which were blinded by ignorance with the light of knowledge .
Raja vidya raja guhyam pavithram idam uttamam
Pratyak savagamam dharmyam susukham karthum avyayam
This knowledge is the king of wisdom , the king of that is confidential .It is the purest and the topmost and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization it is the perfection of all region and ever lastingly joyful to perform . Bhagawad Gita chapter 9 , verse 2
It is our humble but earnest request that this information be made easily available to every culture in this world . The knowledge found within the Bhagawad Gita is incomparable as it gives specific information regarding this purpose of human existence , the immortally of the soul and our external relationship with god . This information applies to each and every one of us without exception . Without realization of our divine relationship with the god it is impossible to establish our eternal relationship with him . This divine relationship is our natural constitutional position and every human beings birth right.
There are three paths which lead directly to establishing a relationship with god. According to the authority of Bhagawad Gita these paths have been designated as the yoga of perfect actions, the yoga of perfect devotion and the yoga of perfect knowledge . These three path with with great care and attention have been fully explained in the Bhagawad Gita which comprises chapter 23 through 40 in the Bhishma- parva section of Mahabharata. .
The Bhagawad Gita consists of 18 chapters each chapter is called the yoga.yoga is the science of the individual consciousness attaining communication with the ultimate consciousness. So each chapter is a highly specialized yoga revealing the path of attaining realization of the ultimate truth . the first six chapter have been classified as the karma yoga section as they mainly deal with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communication with the ultimate consciousness through actions . These chapters are chapter 1 : visada yoga , chapter 2 : sankhyayoga, chapter 3: karma yoga , chapter 4 : Jnana yoga , chapter 5: karma vairagaya yoga , chapter 6: Abhyasa yoga .the middle six chapters have been designated as the Bhakti yoga section as they principally are pertaining with the science of the individual consciousness attaining with the ultimate consciousness by the path of devotion. Chapter7: paramahamsa vijnana yoga , chapter 8: Aksara- parambrahman yoga,chapter 9: Raja- vidya- guhya yoga , chapter 10: vibhuti- vistara -yoga , chapter 11 : visvarupa -Darsana yoga chapter 12 : Bhakti yoga .the final six chapters are regarded as the jhnana yoga section as they are primarily concerned with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communication with the ultimate consciousness through the intellect . chapter 13: ksetra ksetrajna vibhagya yoga chapter 14 : gunatraya vihagya yoga, chapter 15 : purushottama yoga , chapter 16 :daivasrura samapad vibhagaya yoga , chapter 17 :sraddhartraya vibhaga yoga , chapter 18 : moksa opadesa yoga .
Lord Krishna spoke the bhagawad gita on the battle field of kuruksetra in 3102 BC ; just prior to the commencement of the Mahabharata war . this date corresponds to 1700 years before Moses 2500 years before Buddha , 3000 years before Jesus and 3800 years before Mohammed. So first and the foremost it should be clearly understood that the eternal knowledge of the Bhagawad-gita has not been influenced by Buddhism , Christianity and Islam ; for these religions did not exist at that time and were established millenniums later. That proof of the date 3102 BC can be verified by any knowledgeable Indologist in India based on the fact that this was the year when the Pandava king Yudhisthira ascended the throne and was corona-ted as the emperor of the earth. Also accordingly to the Aihole inscription of Pulakesin II the battle of Kuruksetra took place in 3102 BC with lord Krishna reciting the Bhagawad gita before its commencement. As well precise information of the positions of the constellation at the commencement of the battle of Kuruksetra have been given in the great historical epic Mahabharata itself , which is the time it takes our solar system to revolve around the central sun. But who exactly is lord Krishna ? is he Narayana? Is he Vishnu? Is he Vasudeva as reffered to in the Taittirya Aranyaka 10.1.6?. In the Bhagawad gita the supreme lord Krishna is addressed by Arjuna with 41 different names . some of theses names are Acyuta , Bhagavan , Govinda , Hari , Ishwara, Janardana , Kesava , Madhava , Purusottama and Yogeswara as well as Vasudeva and Vishnu. Although lord Krishna possesses unlimited names due to his unlimited attributes and potencies it should be clearly understood that the Krishna who is so wonderful presented in the Puranas is one and the same Krishna who spoke the Bhagawad gita and is so marvelously glorified in the Mahabharata .
