The "Bhagwad Gita" forms a minute part of Massive "Mahabharata" still is the most popular and most commented on of all the sacred texts of Hinduisam. Something that was breathed forth by Lord Krishna at the momentous occasion. Thread on my interpretation!

In a bid to persuade Arjuna to fight, Krishan provides an Amalgam of all the religious doctrines incl Vedas and Upnishad and also "liberation" what later on was known as "Nirvana" in Buddhism which is nothing but the "release from Mortal Existence"!

To understand Gita and it's essence, one reading isn't enough. It has to be read and re read and every time u read it,it becomes more and more clearer!

Before going on with what the "Gita" or the "Gita Saar" is All about, it's better to know facts about shri Krishna. My facts and figures may differ from yours but then so isn't the essence of Gita. . . It's the interpretation of the individual!
Jai Shree Krishna

He was born "dark skinned" He was not formally named at all throughout his life. The whole village of Gokul started calling him the black one ; "Kanha". He was ridiculed and teased for being black, short and adopted too.
#raah_de_krishna

He was accidentally killed by a hunter named "Jara".
There was not a single moment when he was at peace throughout his life. At every turn, he had challenges and even more bigger challenges.
He faced everything responsibily and yet remained unattached.
#raah_de_krishna

He is the only person, who knew the past and probably future ; yet he lived at that present moment always.
Jai shri Krishna
