Published: Nov. 25, 2022, 1:15 a.m.

One who surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, at once becomes freed from the control of material nature. That is the qualification. One can become free from the control of material nature as soon as he surrenders his soul to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the preliminary formula....Pure devotees are not even attracted by K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a\u2019s other features, such as the four-armed Mah\u0101-vi\u1e63\u1e47u. They are simply attracted by the two-armed form of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. They are not attracted to other features of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, nor are they concerned with any form of a demigod or of a human being. They meditate only upon K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness. They are always engaged in the unswerving service of the Lord in K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness....\U0001f4da Ask any spiritual/philosophical questions via email prasnasd@gmail.com or Facebook & Instagram | find the book links & all episodes at sravanamdiaries.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is/ \xa0| \xa0The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation.
