According to Padma Purana this sacred scripture not merely as a book\, but as the transcendent personal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead itself. Each of its twelve Cantos corresponds sequentially to the limbs of the Lord’s divine body\, beginning from His lotus feet in the first two Cantos and progressing up to the divine smile on His lotus face in the Tenth Canto. \nRecognised as a spiritual powerhouse\, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam holds the transformative force needed to bring about a revolution in the impious life of a misdirected civilization. In a world fragmented by material greed and ideological conflict\, its foundational message of universal unity—centered on pure\, unalloyed devotion to Śrī Kṛṣṇa—serves as a powerful binding force for all humanity. By exposing the root causes of global suffering\, this potent literature provides the precise remedies required to re-spiritualize human society. \nAmong the vast ocean of Vedic texts\, the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is universally celebrated as the Mahā-Purāṇa\, the spotless and supreme literature. Spoken by Śukadeva Gosvāmī and compiled by Śrīla Vyāsadeva at the point of his full spiritual maturity\, it distills the highest wisdom of self-realization without any trace of material motivation. Loving devotional service to the Supreme Lord shines throughout its verses\, illuminating human hearts and washing away the darkest impurities of the age of Kali.

The Gita can also be divided into three sections (6 chapters each): \nSection 1: Karma Yoga\nSection 2: Bhakti Yoga\nSection 3: Jnana Yoga \nThe word “yoga” is nowadays associated with stretching postures and exercises\, yet its true meaning is “the process of linking”. Specifically\, it refers to the process of linking our activities to the Supreme Person\, God. \nThe daily reading of Bhagavad Gita together with chanting the Hare Krishna mantra can bring about rapid spiritual advancement for any person. \nOut of numerous translations of the Gita\, “Bhagavad Gita As It Is” shines foremost as it brings to bear the purity and competence of its author and offers answers carefully preserved by a chain of teachers which can be traced back to Lord Sri Krishna. \n“Bhagavad Gita As It Is” consists of Sanskrit verses together with translations and purports by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Within the pages of the Gita\, the workings of karma\, reincarnation and yoga are to be found\, as instructed by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. \nWe invite you to explore this marvellous work. \n\n\nRefresh your soul in the company of senior vaishnavas. The entire 700 verses of the Gita will be recited\, and chapter summaries will be presented. A fire yajna will be conducted throughout the recitation. \nGita Jayanti offers the opportunity to celebrate the appearance of Bhagavad Gita and to distribute this gem to many others. You are invited to sponsor Bhagavad Gitas and distribute them to your friends\, family and colleagues. Alternatively the Temple on your behalf will place them in schools\, universities\, hospitals or prisons through its various programmes. \nThe Bhagavad Gita is a transcendental dialogue between Lord Sri Krishna and His devotee Arjuna. Spoken at the outset of a great battle\, it is an encyclopedia for humanity. \nIn contrast to the atheistic scientist’s purely physical (and hence incomplete) description of everything\, Bhagavad Gita makes a distinction between the spiritual self and the material body. \nThe mind\, intelligence and senses are discussed in terms of their strengths and limitations\, and guidelines are given for their intended use.
