Events
The Bhagavad Geetha is the "milk" of the
Upanishads, "drawn" by the cowherd
Krishna with the help of the "calf" Arjuna, for all mankind to
drink and draw sustenance from. It is a text book for all mankind giving the
secrets of spiritual science in clear and simple terms. The Geetha is a text
for spiritual practitioners, for it emphasizes Sadhana and spiritual attitudes
more than anything else. Every chapter lays down means and methods of reaching
the goal of peace and harmony. Geetha is a boat, which can take man across from
the self-imposed state of bondage to the freedom, which is his nature.
