English Gita-Glory Mahabharata

Gitamahatmya or Greatness of Srimad Bhagavad Gita

(Mahabharata)


(Rishi Baishampayan said -)
This divine song (Gita) which emanated from the holy lotus mouth of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna Himself, should be regularly sung with devotion. What is the need of studying other scriptures ? [Mahabharata | Bhisma Parva|43|1]

Gita embodies all the Shastras, Shri Hari personifies all the Gods, Ganga assimilates all the sacred places and Gayatri (Manu) compiles all the Vedas. [Mahabharata | Bhisma Parva|43|2]

The one, in whose heart the four G's - Gita, Ganga, Gayatri and Govinda reside, will never take rebirth. [Mahabharat|Bhisma Parva|43|3]

Number of verses said by Sri Krishna is 620, those by Arjuna is 57, those by Sanjaya is 67 and that by Dhritarastra is one (total=745). These being the number of verses in Gita. [Mahabharata | Bhisma Parva|43|4, not included in this Gita Mahatmyam]

Sri Krishna churned the entire Mahabharata and extracted its essence in the form of Gita which was invoked by Arjuna. [Mahabharata | Bhisma Parva|43|5]
