Bhagvad Gita, when literally translated in English is ‘Lords ’Song” wherein God talks with Arjuna. Here Sri Krishna or Sri Bhagvan is personified as God and Arjuna represents man utterly devoted to God. In fact the entire Gita revolves around the personality of Sri Krishna as incarnation of God. The sacred teachings of Gita tell the man of action that when all desires that cling to the heart of man are surrendered then a mortal turns into a spirit that ever lives. To attain full realization of the dialogue between soul and spirit the individual ego will have to be dissolved in the ever luminous fire of God consciousness. The central theme that the Lord had laid bare in Gita is to get rid of the egoism that man had acquired through stark ignorance within his physical self. Gita is considered as that holiest of scriptures which is sourced by all supreme masters as divine means for truth-realization and an unbreakable union between man and his Creator. Therefore Gita brings out the secret that the man came from God and his ultimate destiny is to return to Him and while on his way-back journey, it is the Lord Himself shedding the light couched in magical songs of beauty, diversity and simplicity. That is what all Git is about.
