Gita My Mother
Introduction
9
By deceitful means Kauravas defeated Pandavas in
the game of dice and won their kingdom and sent
them in exile, in forest for thirteen years. After they
came back from forest, Kauravas refused them the
earth equal to even the tip of niddle.
When the last effort to bring about the truce between
them by Lord Himself failed, did Pandavas declare
war against arrogant Kauravas. The famous war of
Kuruksetra! Their victory was certain as Lord
KRSNA was on their side. When armies, knights,
charioteers, bowmen, kings, from both sides were
ready, and the war was about to begin; Arjuna was
agitated, to see friends, relatives, well-wishers, sons,
maternal uncles, in-laws, paternal uncles, innocent
soldiers, kith and kin on both sides, eager to kill each
other. He was more disturbed to see grandpa Bhisma
and Guru Drone, the chieftains of Kauravas, as he
loved and respected them so much. The mere idea of
killing them made him sick. He not only foresaw
total annihilation of kingdom but destruction of it’s
rich traditions too. His heart sank, as he was a pious
person too. His throat dry, limbs weak, trembling,
and feverish. His bow, the Gandiv, slipped off his
hand. He then declared to Lord KRSNA that he
won’t fight this war, even for the sake of kingdom
of three earths.
Here, when Lord saw poor novice Arjuna with
tearful eyes, to him He sung this divine song ,
‘Bhagavad- Gita’
to dispel doubts, illusion, and ignorance of his mind
and enlighten him with knowledge eternal, truth
10
eternal, science eternal. Gita, though the center stage
of Mahabharata, stands out alone as an eternal vedic
wisdom, that is beyond time, space, race, cast, creed
and religion. Gita with her eighteen chapters and
seven hundred concise verses, is the world class
poetic dialogue between Lord KRSNA, the creator
of universe and Arjuna, the greatest warrior.
Verse after verse Arjuna is made to realize his true
self, his true nature, his past, present and future.
Chapter after chapter he is made to climb newer and
higher spiritual heights that enlightened him with
ethics, duties, responsibilities, paths to perfection,
creation and destruction of the universe, endurance
of eternal soul, religion and irreligion, good and bad,
and ultimate liberation. All doubts and illusions, of
Arjuna’s mind were driven away by the shining sun
of divine knowledge. Gita, that was told by Lord few
million years ago to Sun God and repeated here to
Arjuna five thousand years ago, stands out even
today like a wise and loving mother, rearing a baby
with love, care and protection. Great yogis and sages
of past and present have translated and written
commentaries on The Gita in world’s leading
languages that is source of knowledge ocean to
philosophers and scholars. Many civilized people of
various faiths across the world not only have
accepted Gita’s wisdom as serene, universal,
stupendous, infinite, cosmological, but also adopted
it as a regular curriculum, in their schools and
universities.
11
It will be a golden day in our history, when this
jewel of our own heritage is adopted by our own
schools and universities to uplift our national
character and promote universal peace, brotherhood,
nonviolence and compassion towards birds, beasts,
plants and animals.
This little book ‘Gita My Mother’ is a meek effort
by me to present a simple poetic transcreation in
English, of this great, eternal divine song
‘Bhagavad- Gita’ for the benefit of students,
soldiers and lay-persons, who love simple poetry and
want to understand principles of Gita.
I pray Lord KRSNA million times because,
‘To err is me, but to forgive is He’
