IS BAGAVAD GEETHA A WAR MANUAL


SOME GREAT MEN OF WEST SPEAK ON BAGAVAD GEETHA

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.                                                 Albert Einstein

The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.                                                        Dr. Albert Schweizer

The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.
Aldous Huxley

The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states..." behold we are not an earthly but a heavenly plant.                           Carl Jung,The great psychologist.

In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seems puny and trivial.
 Henry David Thoreau,The great American writer

The marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of lifes wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion.                                                                    Herman Hesse

The Bhagavad-Gita is an empire of thought and in its philosophical teachings Krishna has all the attributes of the full-fledged montheistic deity and at the same time the attributes of the Upanisadic absolute.                                                                           Ralph Waldo Emerson,American writer
In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.                                                 Rudolph Steiner
