Paul in his letter to the Romans said: “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. But if India is to continue its triumphant march to world influence, the fear must be cast out. It has a subconscious feeling that if it is found relying too often on the Gita, the possessor-the arrogant modern-will be classed with the superstitious, the weak, the outworn. Yet the modern educated mind in India is a timid mind. And it has a universality which embraces every aspect of human action, suits and elevates every stage of human development. It has also provided the inspiration to immortal works like the Bhagavata and Tulasidasa’s Ramacarita Manasa which have shaped and strengthened the eternal edifice of Indian culture. This gospel has given more than human power to countless men for the last twenty-five hundred years to Sankara and Ramanuja to Vivekananda, Lokmanya Tilak and Gandhiji among the moderns. Its teacher is Sri Krishna the one who incarnated as the Man-Triumphant Him whom generations have worshipped as God Himself. It is composed by Vyasa Dvaipayana, the author of the Mahabharata, the poet of poets and the first and foremost prophet of the human race. Edwin Arnold called it The Song Celestial Humboldt characterised it as “the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song in any known tongue.”The reasons for its preeminence are many. Of such Scriptures, the pre-eminent is the Bhagavad Gita – this incomparable converse between God and Man. Of them, not more than half a dozen have come to be accepted as Scriptures.
