Category:Distributing the Bhagavad-gita

Theme Analysis

This category distinguishes the distribution of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is from all other attempts to circulate this scripture. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that while the Bhagavad-gita has been known in India and the West for a long time, previous editions often involved distortion and compromise with mundane interpretations. The specific mission of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to distribute this knowledge strictly "As It Is," presenting Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead without alteration. This distribution is described as the "basic principle" of the movement, the specific duty of all Indians, and the ultimate cultural foundation required to mitigate the suffering of the world.

  • Without Mundane Compromise: The unique potency of this movement lies in distributing the Gita without distortion, whereas previous attempts failed due to speculative interpretations.
  • The Duty of Indians: Lord Caitanya ordered all Indians to take up the cause of distributing this knowledge; unfortunately, this duty has been neglected until now.
  • The Foundation of the Movement: The entire Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is based on the Bhagavad-gita; nothing has been manufactured or added.
  • Global Impact: From replacing "rubbish commentaries" in universities to underground distribution in Russia, the goal is to establish the Gita culture worldwide.
  • Solid Footing: Reading the Bhagavad-gita As It Is provides a solid philosophical footing that convinces the sincere reader of the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
