=========================================

 

"The wonderful thing about the Bhagavad-gita is that,

in it, a unscholared, experienced wisdom is revealed

as helping goodness. This beautiful revelation, this

wisdom of life, this philosophy, blossomed to

religion, is what we are looking for and what we need

...." (Hermann Hesse)

 

"The glory of Indian wisdom belongs to the oldest

traditions in history. When people talk about the

sources of philosophy, they make reference not only to

the Orient at all, but especially towards India."

(Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel)

 

"It is the most rewarding and elevating reading

possible: it has been the comfort of my life

and it will be the one of my death." (Arthur

Schopenhauer)

 

"How much more impressing than all the ruins of the

Orient is the Bhagavad-gita!" (Henry David Thoreau)

 

"It is possibly the deepest and most elevating thing

the world offers." (Wilhelm von Humboldt)

 

"The Gita has always been a source of consolation to

me. When there is no light approaching me, I open the

Gita and a verse, accidently found, gives me back my

smile." (Mahatma Gandhi)

 

"The Bhagavad-gita is a rich message, directed toward

the human being, showing him the path for his actions,

in order to establish a divine society on earth."

(Roger Garaudy)

 

"The Gita is one of the most concise and richest

summaries of the philosophy perennis there is.

Therefore it has permanent value, not only for the

Indians, but for the whole of mankind." (Aldous Huxley)
