Gita Mahatmya

Whatever person reads this sacred scripture, the Gita, with careful attention, attains the abode of Vishnu, free from fear, grief, and all such afflictions.

For one habituated to studying the Gita and devoted to the practice of controlled breathing, the sins committed in previous births simply cease to exist.

Bathing in water day after day removes only the dirt from the body, but a single bath in the waters of the Gita destroys the very impurity of material existence.

One need only see that the Gita is well studied — what need is there of elaborate study of other scriptures — since the Gita itself flowed directly from the lotus mouth of Padmanabha?

Having drunk the Ganges-water of the Gita, the very essence of the nectar of the Mahabharata that flowed from the mouth of Vishnu, one is no longer subject to rebirth.

All the Upanishads are the cows, the son of the cowherd is their milker, Arjuna is the calf, and the wise person is the one who drinks; the great nectarean milk is the Bhagavad-gita itself.

There is but one scripture, the song sung by the son of Devaki; there is but one Deity, that very son of Devaki; there is but one mantra, his holy names; and there is but one duty, service unto that Lord.
