Bhagavad Gita
≻ Mystic Television Prabhupada explains that Sanjaya was the secretary of Dhritarastra, and he was seeing the battlefield and Krishna’s talking to Arjuna, just like we have live stream television. More
≻ Krishna: The Supreme Personality Krishna is a historical person, but at the same time, in the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna says, "Fools think that I have assumed this historical personality. They do not know My higher nature and my transcendental dominion over all that be." More
≻ Sum & Substance: Chant Hare Krishna Kali-yuga is the age of darkness, quarrel, irreligion, deception and so forth. And in this age people are very short-lived, they are less intelligent, and they are inclined to quarrel on a slight misunderstanding. People in Kali-yuga will not be interested in spiritual matters. So in order to tactfully - sort of like putting candy coating on a medicine for a child - attract them to the essence of the whole Vedic wisdom, Vyasadeva recorded the entire history of this Mahabharata era, or Kurukshetra era, and in it he put the Bhagavad-gita, the discourse or discussion between Krishna and Arjuna, so that people who are more interested in politics, economics, morality, and romance - which is all there in the Mahabharata - would inadvertently or imperceptibly come upon this one chapter, the Bhagavad-gita. More

≻ Newspapers and MSM: Fail Asking questions and getting answers is the whole engagement, according to Srila Prabhupada in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, First Canto. The students are asking questions and getting answers, the politicians are asking questions and getting answers, the housewife is asking questions and getting answers, everyone is asking questions and getting answers, and they go on asking questions and getting answers for the whole of their lives, but the questions and answers do not satisfy anyone. More
≻ Inmates' fav picks from Gita "From the first day I opened the Bhagavad Gita, I found the answers to the things I felt but could never put into words. The knowledge I am finding are the truths that transcends ordinary religious doctrine. It is in my hands most of the time." More
