Bhagavad Geeta is a practical guide

Bhagavad Geeta is a practical guide. It teaches the art of living this life in harmony with the spiritual one. It teaches the art of self-discipline and self-perfection. Man is a synthesis of Matter and Spirit and nobody can afford to ignore the one in order to perfect the other. We have to blend them in proper proportions, assigning their due importance to both. Geeta is really a treasure-house of most precious pearls of wisdom.It offers a solution to all our personal problems, though they vary in nature from individual to individual. There lies the simple beauty of Geeta.

Lord’s Song Divine is in the form of dialogue,between two characters, Arjuna and Krishna –Nara and Narayana—wherein Nara symbolizes man, and Narayana represents the Refuge of man, God. The god directs and guides the dejected ,depressed, helpless and erring man along the right path.This struggle in man between himself and the Lord of his heart and ultimately the Lord coming to his rescue when he surrenders to him are quite common in every day life. But generally we fail to notice the play of god in our day-to-day activities.

Geeta is a poem in eighteen chapters, containing 701 stanzas. The philosophy preached in these lyrical stanzas constitutes the Bharat Culture , the time honored culture of Indian fore-fathers, the very glory of nation-India.
