For the establishment
Of Truth Transcendental
In the heart of Life Universal.

Illumining me.

When I study the Bhagavad Gita,
I feel the fragrance of that lotus
Fulfilling me.

But if you happen to ask a Hindu
What his scripture is,
The poor Hindu is totally lost
In a sea of hesitation.

Unlike other religions,
The Hindu religion has a number
Of scriptures:
The four Veda-oceans,
The one hundred and eight
Upanishad-forests,
Teeming Puranas,
The Chandi (the Mother-glory),
And the Bhagavad Gita.

33.

But if you ask the same Hindu,
Of all these scriptures,
Which one touches the very depths
Of his aspiration-heart
And dedication-life,
In no time his answer will be:
The Bhagavad Gita,
The Song Celestial.

34.

Study the Bhagavad Gita.
You will be able to receive
Sri Krishna's Blessings.

35.

Live the Bhagavad Gita.
You will be able to claim Sri Krishna
As your own, very own,
Throughout
The length and breadth of the world.

36.

Manifest the message-light
Of the Bhagavad Gita.
Sri Krishna will give you
Everything,
His Infinity's ALL.
