The Bhagavad Gita is a piece of art of strange beauty and it stands apart from everything else, in a class all by itself. It is liquid poetry expounding solid philosophy. In the lucidity of its metre it crystallises some of the rarest gems of moral and spiritual values. Its breezy discourses have a firm style. The fluidity of its eloquence falls like merciful rain upon every broken personality, making it whole by its magic touch. It is not a book of science, and yet, it is very scientific in its approach to the theme. It has not the airy nothingness of familiar philosophical discourses, and yet, all philosophies seem to meet within its ample stretch.

– Swami Chinmayananda

The versatile genius of Vyāsa has never left anything that he has touched without raising it to the most sublime heights of perfection. With an unimaginable capacity for composing incomparable poetry; unique prose-diction; chaste descriptions; artistic, literary designs; original innovations both in thought and form—a brilliant philosopher, a man of consummate wisdom, a genius in worldly knowledge, at one time in the palace, at another time in the battle- field, at still another time among the silent snow peaks—strode the colossus, Śri Vyāsa, as an embodiment of what is best in the Hindu tradition. Such an all-round genius has not yet been reported ever to have been born, lived or achieved so much in the history of this globe, at any other time!Gita Jayanti, is celebrated on the Margashirsha Shukla Ekadasi (11th day of Margashirsha month based on lunar calendar). The timeless appeared in time to give the timeless message of the Timelessness of man to a confused and broken Arjuna. It was on this day that Sanjaya narrated to King Dhritarashtra the dialogue between Lord Sri Krishna and Arjuna, and thus made the glorious teachings of the Lord available to us, and to people of the world, for all time. In today’s changing times the message of this great spiritual manual is as relevant as it was when it was revealed.Explore CIF’s offerings in various formats to adapt as your learning tools to embark on the Gita way of life.
