SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA is composed by Sri Srimad Krsna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa, the universal teacher and an incarnation of Bhagavan. It constitutes eighteen chapters of Bhisma-parva (Chapters Twenty-five to Forty-two) of his vast epic, Sri Mahabharata.

Svayam Bhagavan Sri Krsna has given very valuable and fundamental instructions to His eternal associate and dear friend Arjuna for the benefit of all human beings, to help them cross the ocean of material existence and attain His lotus feet. To enable deluded conditioned souls like us to pass beyond the delusion of the external, material energy (maya), He made His eternal associate, Arjuna, become as if enchanted by maya so that he would ask questions that correspond to the various eligibilities of the deluded living entities, Sri Krsna then answered those questions Himself, thereby dispelling all kinds of doubts and defining the means by which the living entities can be systematically freed from the delusion of maya.

Srimad Bhagavad-gita is also known as Gitopaniṣad. It is the essence of all Vedic knowledge and the most significant Upanisad in Vedic literature. Those who constantly study this book with faith, under the shelter of the spiritual master, saintly persons and Vaisnavas will be able to ascertain its true import easily. As a result, they will transcend the ocean of material existence and attain transcendental devotion to the lotus feet of Sri Krsna. In this way, they will become eligible to attain pure love for Him. Of this there is not the slightest doubt.

Nowadays, it is observed that the great thinkers and venerated gentlemen of India revere Srimad Bhagavad-gita. Members of all disciplic lineages (sampradayas) also show great honour and faith in the Gita. Even many celebrated politicians have shown faith in this monarch of books, and philosophers from all countries of the world have lauded it profusely.

At present, various inauthentic persons are publishing speculative commentaries on the Gita, in which they shamelessly present their imaginary, inconclusive theories about the synthesis of spirit and matter (citjada-samanvayavada). They also try to prove that pure devotion, which is eternal, is worthless. In most of these commentaries, either prescribed duty or empiric knowledge in the form of impersonal mayavadism is expounded as the sole import of the Gita. By reading and hearing such commentaries, people of delicate faith are being deviated from the path.

The nigama-sastras (Vedas) are very extensive. Some portions of them contain instructions on mundane religiosity (dharma), others on prescribed duty (karma), others on analytical knowledge (sankhya-jnana) and yet others on bhagavad-bhakti, loving devotion to Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. What is the mutual relationship between these systems, and when is it one's duty to relinquish one to engage in another?
