How can anyone, who talks about the philosophy not mention / talk about Bagavad Gita? Bhagavan Sri Krishna condensed all the 108 Upanisahds and the concepts in them and preached them to Arjuna in the war front in the form of a Song (Gita). And our master-mind Veda Vyasa Maharishi, had written them in 700 beautiful verses, in 18 chapters. Next to Upanishads, Bagavad Gita occupies an important place in the school of Vedanta. Lot of times, the verses found in Upanishads are fond in Bagavad Gita or the actual contents of the Upanishads are found in Gita.
Upanishads are of Vedic time and they talk more about inquiry about the Brahman etc.. more. But Gita talks also about Bhakthy Karma etc.. and has 18 chapters explaining about the different ways of attaining perfection. It was Sri Shankara, who wrote a commentary to this epic and also the beautiful dhyana sloka.
The dhyana slokas are really beautiful and glorify the greatness of Bagavad Gita in a very beautiful manner.
Parthaya PrthiBhoditham Bagavathaa Narayanena Swayam
Vyasena Gratitham Purana Munina Madhye Maha Bharatham
Advaithamrutha Varshineem Bagavatheem Asta Dashadyayineem
Amba Thvam Anusandadami Bagavath Geethe Bhavadweshineem
Meaning: Hey Mother Bagavad Geethe! You were preached to Paartha by none other then Sriman Narayana and were published by Veda Vyasa as a part of Great Epic Mahabharata Oh! Mother, you are showering the bliss of Non-Duality or Advaitham and have 18 chapters. I am reading or doing Anusandhanam of you , who is the savior to me form this world of materialism.
Namotsthu The Vyasa Vishala Buddhe Pullaravindayatha Pathra nethra:
Ena Thvaya Bhrartha Thaila Poorna: Prajwalitho Gnanamaya Pradeepa:
Meaning: Oh! Veda Vyasa, you have deep and wide knowledge and intellect and have the eyes like the petals of a fully blossomed Lotus's petal. You had lit the lamp of wisdom with the oil of Mahabharata.
Prapanna Parijaathaya Tothra Vetraika Paanaye
Gnana Mudraya Krishnaya Geeetamruthathu He Nama:
Lord Krishna! You are the wish-granting Paarijatha tree for the ones, who have surrendered to you (Prapannas). Your one hand holds a cane (flute) to drive the cattle and other hand holds a Gnana Mudra (symbolizing the oneness of the Self and Supreme). You are the milker, who had milked the divine nectar of Bagavad Gita(from the cow of Upanishads).
Vedo Upanishado Gavo Toktha Gopala Nadana:
Partho Vathsa Sudeer Bhoktha Dhigdam Geethamrutha Mahath:
Meaning: Vedas and Upanishads are the cows and Arjuna is a calf, who had drunk the the divine milk of Bagavad Gita, milked by Sri Krishna.
We see that Gita itself, then Veda Vyasa, Sri Krishna and then finally Arjuna are being glorified by the above verses. Rest of them in the next post.. Sri Krishna certainly needed a seeker like Arjuna to preach and also a wise writer like Vyasa to publish it. All the three and finally Gita are divine and they all remove our ignorance and grant us wisdom (of the Self).
