Bhagavad Geeta This text contains the Gnosis (Knowledge of the Supreme), brought forth by none other than Supreme Lord who incarnated as Krishna. The highest regard for this ‘Gnosis’ apart from the fact that it was revealed by Krishna, lies in its practical approach to decipher the problems of man. The text is also greatly respected due to the authenticity of the facts stated therein. Set in eighteen chapters, the said text is an instruction given to Arjuna by the Lord, in the middle of the battlefield, wherein the Lord shows the path of life and work in the world in the most deligent manner without taking our eyes away from God. Each chapter is named ‘Yoga’ as it shows us the path to ‘Unite’ with the Supreme. It is considered the nectar which bestows immortality even if practiced in a smaller quantum. Due to the lofty principles, it has been commented by all great philosophers of India like Aadi Shankara, ramaanuja etc. It also has acceptance in ‘Sufi’ tradition wherein it is known as “Ilim Ludani-va-Tohid”.
