The Great results by reading Bhagavad Gita

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

He who studies this Gita scripture with humility is freed from fear

and misery and attains the feet of Lord Vishnu.

 

That person who is in the habit of reading the Gita and who is also

devoted to practising pranayama (breathing exercises) is not touched

by sins, even those done in his previous birth.

 

Human beings must bathe in water every day to get rid of the dirt (of the body),

but bathing in the water of the Gita once is enough to get rid of the dirt of

this samsara (cycle of birth and death).

 

This Gita which has come out of the lotus-like face of the Lord (He

who has the lotus in His navel) and which is so melodious, should be

studied. There is no need to study any other scriptures in detail.

 

After drinking the water of the Gita which is the nectar of the

entire Bharata (the epic Mahabharata) and which has come out of the

mouth of Vishnu, there is no more birth (in this world).

 

All the Upanishads are the cows, the one who milks the cows is

Krishna, Arjuna (Partha) is the calf. Men of purified intellect are

the enjoyers; the milk is the great nectar of the Gita. The only

scripture is the song of the son of Devaki. The only deity is the son of Devaki.

The only mantra is His Names. The only action is the

service of That Deity. Lord Vishnu said:

 

Though engaged in the performance of worldly duties, one who is

regular in the study of the Gita becomes free. He is the happy man in this

world. He is not bound by Karma.

 

Just as the water stains not the lotus leaf, even so sins do not

taint him who is regular in the recitation of the Gita.

 

All the sacred centres of pilgrimage, like Prayag and other places,

dwell in that place where the Gita is kept, and where the Gita is

read.

 

All the gods, sages, yogins, divine serpents, gopalas, gopikas

(friends and devotees of Lord Krishna), Narada, Uddhava and others

dwell here.

 

Help comes quickly where the Gita is recited and, O Earth, I ever

dwell where it is read, heard, taught and contemplated upon!

 

I take refuge in the Gita, and the Gita is My best abode. I protect

the three worlds with the knowledge of the Gita.

 

The Gita is My highest science, which is doubtless of the form of

Brahman, the Eternal, the Ardhamatra (of the Pranava Om), the

ineffable splendour of the Self.

 

It was spoken by the blessed Lord Krishna, the all-knowing, through

His own mouth, to Arjuna. It contains the essence of the Vedas—the

knowledge of the Reality. It is full of supreme bliss.

 

The Gita contains the cream of the Vedas and Upanishads. Hence it is

a universal scripture suited for people of all temperaments and for

all ages.

 

He who recites the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita daily, with a pure and

unshaken mind, attains perfection in knowledge, and

reaches the highest state or supreme goal.

 

If a complete reading is not possible, even if only half is read, he

attains the benefit of giving a cow as a gift. There is no doubt

about this.

 

He who recites one-third part of it achieves the merit of a bath in

the sacred river Ganges; and who recites one-sixth of it attains the

merit of performing a Soma sacrifice (a kind of ritual).

 

That person who reads one discourse with supreme faith and devotion

attains to the world of Rudra and, having become a Gana (an attendant of Lord

Shiva), lives there for many years.

 

If one reads a discourse or even a part of a verse daily he, O Earth, retains a

human body till the end of a Manvantara (71 Mahayugas or 308,448,000 years).

 

He who repeats ten, seven, five, four, three, two verses or even one

or half of it, attains the region of the moon and lives there for

10,000 years. Accustomed to the daily study of the Gita, a dying man

comes back to life again as a human being.

 

By repeated study of the Gita, he attains liberation. Uttering the

word Gita at the time of death, a person attains liberation.

 

Though full of sins, one who is ever intent on hearing the meaning of the Gita,

goes to the kingdom of God and rejoices with Lord Vishnu.

 

He who meditates on the meaning of the Gita, having performed many

virtuous actions, attains the supreme goal after death. Such an

individual should be considered a true Jivanmukta.

 

In this world, taking refuge in the Gita, many kings like Janaka and

others reached the highest state or goal, purified of all sins.

 

He who fails to read this " Glory of the Gita " after having read the

Gita, loses the benefit thereby, and the effort alone remains.

 

One who studies the Gita, together with this " Glory of the Gita " ,

attains the fruits mentioned above, and reaches the state which is

otherwise very difficult to be attained.
