The Gita is the very life-breath, the heart, and the verbal image of the Lord. He who has his heart, speech, body and all his senses and their functions imbued with the Gita is the very embodiment of the Gita. His very sight, touch, speech and though lend supreme sanctity to others, to say nothing of those who follow his percept and example. Really speaking, no sacrifice, charity, austerity, pilgrimage, religious vow, self-restraint and fasting etc. stand comparison with the Gita.
The Gita contains words directly emanating from the lips of Bhagavan Sri Krisna. Its compiler is Maharsi Vyasa. The Lord uttered parts of His discourse in verse, which the compiler Vyasa recorded exactly as they emanated from His lips. the part of its uttered in prose was versified by the compiler, and the words of Arjuna, Sanjaya and Dhrtarastra were similarly versified by him in his own words, and divided the book of seven hundred verses into eighteen chapters, he made it an organic part of the Mahabharata. This is how the book has come down to us.
Listen to the sweet,soothing, melodious tune of Krishna's flute
