The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race, a living creation rather than book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.
-Sri Aurobindo
From a clear knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita all the goals o0f human existence become fulfilled. Bhagavad-Gita is the manifest quintessence of all the teachings of the Vedic scriptures
- Adi Sankara
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this unversed everything else seems so superfluous.
-Albert Einstein
The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of random desires and undisciplined impulses.
When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me, and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day. The Bhagavad-Gita Gita is my mother.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The reason why Gita is considered to be the supreme scripture of religion is that in it is a logical exposition of all the three yagas –Jnana, Karma and Bhakti. It has no parallel with any other scripture. Such an unprecedented religion and synthesis can be seen only in the Gita. I don’t think anybody at any place or time has done such a wonderful exposition of religion. Nowhere else in the world can one find such great and sublime spirit of devotion?
-Shri Bankimchandra Chattopdhyaya.
The Gita is one of the most authentic scriptures of Hindu philosophy and ethics. Should our youth study and contemplate even some selected verses of it, they would understand the religion of their ancestors. The lofty philosophy, art, literature and civilization inherited by us were developed only on the basis of the religion of our ancestors.
One can of course describe and also prove those subjects which are within the perimeters of human logic but faith and contemplation are required to understand those which transcend the logic of man.
The teaching of Gita is meant for the small and for the big, for people who are very busy and for those who have retired from the struggle of life. Undoubtedly, Gita is meant for all times.
-Shri Rajgopalachari
My heart and mind have both received more nourishment from the Gita than my body has from my mother’s milk. Where the heart is touched, there is no room for argument. Leaving logic behind; I beat the twin wings of faith and practice and to the best of my ability, fly up into the heavens of the Gita. The Gita is my life’s breath. I swim in the sea of the Gita when I speak of it; but when I am alone, I dive to the depths of this ocean of nectar and there rest at ease.
-Sant Vinobaji Bhave
Unfathomable and illimitable is the glory of Srimand Bhagavad Gita. This scripture is meant for the salvation of the whole of mankind. There is such uniqueness in this small-sized work that real seeker of one’s salvation whether he belongs to any varna, ashrama, nation, creed, belief etc., he is at once attracted by mere study of this treatise. If a man reads and grasps even a little from this sacred book, several satisfying disciplines or ways become available to him for his life’s fulfillment. Differently qualified persons are there for the study of respective systems of philosophy, but the unique significance of the Gita is that all the seekers of salvation are eligible to its study.
-Swami Ramasukhadasaji
Even in the moment of apocalypse, when the clouds are thundering fiercely, the oceans are overflowing, all the twelve suns are burning, mountains are colliding with each other still, no sense of duality prevails in the mind of an Enlightened one. For duality does not exist. Duality is perceived only by the ignorant.
Peace can only be attained by accepting the truth. Some people strive to achieve it through their competence. But competence, in itself, doesn’t suffice to bring peace; it can deliver the goods only when utilize properly enough. Many people seek peace through wealth. One cannot buy peace with wealth, but making good use of wealth can bring peace. Similarly, making good use of adversities can lead to peace.

Excellent website.
In the storm of life we struggle through myriads of stimuli of
pressure, stress, and multi problems that seek for a solution and
answer. We are so suppressed by the routine of this every life style
that most of us seem helpless. However, if we look closely to ancient
techniques we shall discover the magnificent way to understand and
realize the ones around us and mostly ourselves. If only we could stop
for a moment and allow this to happen. May all beings be happy (Loka
Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu)
The ancient Hindu philosophy of keeping mind and body for the well
being has entered the managerial, medical and judicial domain of the
world. Today it has found its place as an alternative to the theory of
modern management and also as a means to bring back the right path of
peace and prosperity for the human beings. Let me bow to Indian
Maharishi Veda Vysa with folded hands, who helped in removing the
impurities of the mind through his writings on Vedas, impurities of
speech through his writings on puranas, and impurities of body through
his writings on other sacred texts.
The Holy Gita is the essence of the Vedas, Upanishads. It is a
universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments and for
all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical
instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. It is profound in
thought and sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace
to souls that are afflicted by the three fires of mortal existence,
namely, afflictions caused by one's own body (disease etc), those
caused by beings around one ( e.g. wild animals, snakes etc.), and
those caused by the gods (natural disasters, earth-quakes, floods
etc).
