Jnana Yajna 13: Gurudev Begins Discourses on the Bhagavad Gita

“The Gita is therefore to be studied and delivered to as many devotees as possible. This Pravachana – missionary zeal in propagation – has been emphasized in our scriptures also. The Lord’s Divine Song was not a prescription for one Arjuna of the Mahabharata days. It is for all times to all of us – Arjuna is a sample young man of the world,” stated Gurudev during His first Gita Jnana Yajna (18 Sep – 26 Oct 1955) at the Modern School, Barakhambha Road, New Delhi, after He explained the meaning of the Gita Dhyanam and highlighted the lasting relevance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
