Quotes about Bhagavad Gita

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe, everything else seems so superfluous.

climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same

questions which exercise us.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

influences that are opposed to spiritual development,

yet simultaneously it is His incomparable intention

to be perpetually within reach of all humanity.
