How do you define Gita? E-mail

The Gita is everything. Yet in one word she means Love -- true and unblemished, without any expectations, far reaching and universal. True love is all we need -- not the worldly love often associated with passions and sensuality. Let us make a sincere attempt to love everything, and in the process Love will take care of everything. Undoubtedly, you will succeed like Mirabai in this perishable world of illusions.

The Gita is the word of God. Gita means "song of Krishna," who gave the message to Arjun in his time of despondency and need. The Gita is cream of the Hindu scriptures. The Gita is like a mother to us. The question "What is the Gita?" is  like asking "What is a mother?"  Because we don't understand, appreciate, or learn the Gita, we have questions such as this. So we must make every attempt to know the Gita.

-- Swami Radhanandaji
