Remember the God!
The Bhagavad-Gita is the fount of the vedic wisdom. Being the essence of the vedic wisdom, is a complete and finished work, unlocking the mysteries of life, the laws of nature, the relationship between God and the living entity. The" Bhagavad-Gita " was a reference book, of such great men as Lev Tolstoy, Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. ...
The Bhagavad-Gita is a truly unique phenomenon in the history of the world culture. The Value of the Gita is in its exclusive power of influencing the spiritual development of man, which is reflected in the ethical, social and психологичеком aspects. Through the decision of a problem of "Who am I?" The gita gives the correct answer to the question "What to do?" and opens ways to achieve a particular inner state, in which it is possible not only to comprehend the eternal spiritual values, but also bring them to life. In the Gita, permission is given to the problems of the meaning of human existence, the clash of personal and universal concepts of morality. The Teaching of the Gita covering the different aspects of life, starting with everyday, everyday, and to the metaphysical, spiritual.
For the First time the Bhagavad-Gita has been translated in the West in 1785 Ch.Wilkinson and aroused great interest not only experts, but also the writers, the poets, the philosophers. W.Humboldt called it "the most beautiful and, perhaps, the only truly philosophical work written on known languages". The Influence of the Gita was reflected in the works of such outstanding figures of european culture, as Goethe, Herder, Hartmann, Novikov. About it responded with admiration Hegel, Schopenhauer, Beethoven, Heine, Roden, Einstein, Nehru, Gandhi. Her study were many outstanding scientists - H.Lassen, Э.Бюрнуф, A.Senar, Aurobindo Ghose, L.Valle, S.Radhakrishnan, S.Levi. Gita has become an inexhaustible source from which derived the idea of writers and poets of the West. Acquaintance with the Bhagavad-Gita is clearly manifested in the works of Shelley, Dzh.Rassel, Wordsworth, R.Rollan, Tolstoy, I.Bunin, W.Whitman, H.Hesse.
In Russian, the history of the Bhagavad-gita as triumphal, how and dramatic. Widely about the "Gita" learned in 1788, when it issued not yet disgraced Novikov. Their "good" to" Gita" and then gave Catherine II, and the Holy Synod, who says hindu scripture as the book "the spiritually-beneficial".
However, for the first time the "Bhagavad-Gita" appeared in Russia for 170 years before - with the advent of the Astrakhan indian merchants. Most of them were вишнуитами. This is evident from sketches of painter Emelyan Korneeva and an unnamed assistant of the Russian ethnographer academician Peter Pallas.
During the XIX century. The "Bhagavad-Gita" enjoyed great popularity among the Russian intelligentsia. They say that the Gita studied even the decembrists. She was found in the library of one exiled whether in Tomsk, whether in Tobolsk.
After the revolution of 1917. "The Bhagavad-Gita for a long time has left in the shade, sharing the fate of the Bible and other holy scriptures. "The second coming" "Gita" took place at the International book fair at the exhibition of economic achievements in 1977.where was put its translation into English, made by the Guru, the founder of the International society for Krishna consciousness Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977).
Therefore, one who does not read this literary source, cannot be called a knowledgeable, well-educated person. Leo Tolstoy read the Gita in old age. From our school, it is concealed. Now this mystery revealed and the ancient treasury of literature is available. In my opinion there is nothing more wonderful than this poem about God. People should learn this work in order to know the Higher!
"I was obliged to" Bhagavad-Gita, "a wonderful day. This - the first of books; the impression that the whole empire tells us: there is no nicheg small, insignificant, all large, sequential, serene, is the voice of the ancient mind, reflects in another era in another climate, but over the same voprosakmi that bother us. "
Raulf Waldo Emerson
"When I cover a doubt, when disappointments follow one another, and do not see a ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to the" Bhagavad Gita "and find a verse that brings peace. I immediately begin to smile, forgetting about my overflowing sorrow. Those who reflect on the "Gita", constantly derive pleasure in it and open it a new meaning. "
