The outstretched hands of Mother Geeta, ready and willing always to lift all intelligent young hearts from their dirt and filth, are today often ignored in our utter confusion of mind.
We are today totally ignorant of the security which the Geeta’s motherly embrace can provide and the divinity of her reviving touch. These are times when religion must march out of the forests and temples, churches and mosques, Gurudwaras and Vihars into places where man is striving in his despair and turning sour in his incorrigible cynicism and impossible disillusionments.
The Geeta is a readymade textbook which serves us where we are; whoever we may be, whatever may be our problem, irrespective of place and time, caste and creed, the Geeta serves us. This is the special charm of the scriptural textbook-the Bhagawad Geeta.
