Brief Information about Holy Bhagavad Gita
Holy Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta ji was narrated in the Dwapar Yuga approximately 5500 years ago.
It is originally narrated in Sanskrit language. However it was later translated so that its teachings can be incorporated into our lives.
The prime goal of the knowledge of Holy Geeta ji was to enlighten the path of salvation. And to make people aware about the wealth of true spiritual knowledge.
The knowledge of Shrimad Bhagvad Gita was given by Satan(Kaal Brahm) by entering into the body of Shri Krishan as he approves of it in Holy Gita ji chapter 11 verse 32.
The knowledge was narrated in 18 chapters and 700 verses.
The knowledge of Holy Gita ji was narrated at that time when none of the religion was existing. Hence the knowledge of Gita ji is applicable to all sorts of people belonging from any sort of religion or sect.
Holy Gita ji is written by Shri Ved Vyas ji.
Although translations have been done, the real essence of Geeta ji shall be understood only through the correct translations done by a Tatvdarshi Sant or a Complete Sant as mentioned in chapter 4 verse 34.
Holy Gita ji is termed as complete in itself and as a summarized Holy Scripture consisting of knowledge of Holy Vedas, Holy Puranas in short.
Who narrated the knowledge of Holy Bhagavad Gita?
Many of us are living into this wrong belief that Shri Krishna ji narrated the knowledge of Holy Gita ji as everyone saw him during the Mahabharata. But it is not true. Rather the actual truth is that the knowledge of Holy Gita ji was narrated by Satan (Kaal Brahm) by entering into the body of Shri Krishna as a ghost to execute Mahabharata at the same time. It is a bitter truth which is not easy to digest for many people but it is a base to understand the actual knowledge of Holy Gita ji.
The proof of this is mentioned in Holy Gita ji chapter 11 verse 32 when Satan(Kaal Brahm) himself accepts his identity and reveals its Vikraal form. He seemed God to Arjun by revealing such form and some powers but he was just being fooled. As this place belongs to Satan (Kaal Brahm) and he enjoys this much power as well. But it seemed as an act of God to a man like Arjun at that point of time.
Is the narrator of Holy Gita Ji immortal?
No, the narrator mentioned himself in Holy Gita Ji chapter 2 verse 12, chapter 4 verse 5 and 9, chapter 10 verse 2 that he himself rotates into the cycle of birth and death. Because everything except the Almighty God Kabir is perishable. And as the narrator himself declares his identity and calls himself mortal hence the narrator is not the Supreme Almighty Power we are looking to worship.
What is the role of Shri Krishna in Holy Gita Ji?
Shri Krishna had absolutely no role in neither narration of Gita ji nor Mahabharata except that his body was taken in control by Satan to execute these things. Shri Krishna was not even interested in executing Mahabharata as he already visited Kauravas for peaceful settlement in between them and pandavas, he himself cannot execute Mahabharata. Shri Krishna (avtar of lord Vishnu), Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva are the three sons of Satan(Kaal Brahm) and Prakarti Devi (Durga).
The proof of this is being mentioned in Holy Gita ji chapter 14 verse 3-5. These Gods only enjoy the power of giving us our destiny only. Only Kabir Parmeshwar has the power to change our destiny and can even grant us life as well.
What is the Way of Living mentioned in Holy Gita Ji?
The ideology of Holy Gita ji is very straight and simple. It clearly states us to take the refuge of the Almighty Supreme God Kabir to attain a state of immortality after reaching the everlasting immortal place Satlok (Sachkhand). This in other words is called Salvation.
The narrator clearly indicates this in the final chapter of Holy Gita ji chapter 18 verse 62 and 66 by disclosing a top secret to Arjun and suggests him to go and take the refuge of Almighty by worshiping Him here in this human form. And the narrator Satan(Kaal Brahm) accepts that he himself worships Almighty Supreme God Kabir Saheb at the time of any hardship.
Who is a Tatvdarshi Sant according to Holy Gita Ji?
Holy Geeta ji directs us to go into the refuge of a Tatvdarshi Sant in Holy Gita ji chapter 4 verse 34 for attainment of God and salvation. Presently Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj also from the state of Haryana, is the only Tatvdarshi Sant present in between us who is giving us the right way of worship as mentioned in Holy Gita ji. He has been able to correctly translate the meaning of an upside down tree as mentioned in Holy Gita ji chapter 15 verse 1-4 in accordance with the creation of the universe with appropriate proofs in His support. And also challenging the conventional translation of Holy Gita ji, His identity stands unique.
