gītā-śāstram idaṁ puṇyaṁ yaḥ paṭhet prayataḥ pumān viṣṇoḥ padam avāpnoti bhaya-śokādi-varjitaḥ

gita-sastram idam punyam yah pathet prayatah puman visnoh padam avapnoti bhaya-sokadi-varjitah

गीताशास्त्रम इदं पुण्यं यः पठेत प्रयतः पुमान विष्णोः पदम अवाप्नोति भयशोकादिवर्जितः

If one properly follows the instructions of Bhagavad-gita, one can be freed from all the miseries and anxieties of life. One will be freed from all fears in this life, and one's next life will be spiritual.

gītādhyayana-śīlasya prāṇāyāma-parasya ca naiva santi hi pāpāni pūrva-janma-kṛtāni

gitadhyayana-silasya pranayama-parasya ca naiva santi hi papani purva-janma-krtani

गीताध्ययनशीलस्य प्राणायामपरस्य च नैव सन्ति हि पापानि पूर्वजन्मकृतानि

If one reads Bhagavad-gita very sincerely and with all seriousness, then by the grace of the Lord the reactions of his past misdeeds will not act upon him.

maline mocanaṁ puṁsāṁ jala-snānaṁ dine dine sakṛd-gītāmbhasi snānaṁ saṁsāra-mala-nāśanam

maline mocanam pumsam jala-snanam dine dine sakrd-gitambhasi snanam samsara-mala-nasanam

मलिने मोचनं पुंसां जलस्नानं दिने दिने सकृद्गीताम्भसि स्नानं संसारमलनाशनम

One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gita, for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished.

gītā sugītā kartavyā kim anyaiḥ śāstra-vistaraiḥ yā svayaṁ padmanābhasya mukha-padmād viniḥsṛtā

gita sugita kartavya kim anyaih sastra-vistaraih ya svayam padmanabhasya mukha-padmad vinihsrta

गीता सुगीता कर्तव्या किम अन्यैः शास्त्रविस्तरैः या स्वयं पद्मनाभस्य मुखपद्माद विनिःसृता

Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Lord, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Lord.

bhāratāmṛta-sarvasvaṁ viṣṇor vaktrād viniḥsṛtam gītā-gaṅgodakaṁ pītvā punar-janma na vidyate

bharatamrta-sarvasvam visnor vaktrad vinihsrtam gita-gangodakam pitva punar-janma na vidyate

भारतामृतसर्वस्वं विष्णोर वक्त्राद विनिःसृतम गीतागङ्गोदकं पीत्वा पुनर्जन्म न विद्यते

One who drinks the water of the Ganges attains salvation, so what to speak of one who drinks the nectar of Bhagavad-gita? Bhagavad-gita is the essential nectar of the Mahabharata, and it is spoken by Lord Krsna Himself, the original Visnu.

sarvopaniṣado gāvo dogdhā gopāla-nandanaḥ pārtho vatsaḥ sudhīr bhoktā dugdhaṁ gītāmṛtaṁ mahat

sarvopanisado gavo dogdha gopala-nandanah partho vatsah sudhir bhokta dugdham gitamrtam mahat

सर्वोपनिषदो गावो दोग्धा गोपालनन्दनः पार्थो वत्सः सुधीर भोक्ता दुग्धं गीतामृतं महत

This Gitopanisad, Bhagavad-gita, the essence of all the Upanisads, is just like a cow, and Lord Krsna, who is famous as a cowherd boy, is milking this cow. Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad-gita.

ekaṁ śāstraṁ devakī-putra-gītam eko devo devakī-putra eva eko mantras tasya nāmāni yāni karmāpy ekaṁ tasya devasya sevā

ekam sastram devaki-putra-gitam eko devo devaki-putra eva eko mantras tasya namani yani karmapy ekam tasya devasya seva

एकं शास्त्रं देवकीपुत्रगीतम एको देवो देवकीपुत्र एव एको मन्त्रस तस्य नामानि यानि कर्माप्य एकं तस्य देवस्य सेवा

Let there be one scripture only, one common scripture for the whole world , Bhagavad-gita. Let there be one God for the whole world , Śri Krsna. Let there be only one hymn, one mantra, one prayer , the chanting of His name: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Let there be one work only , the service of the Supreme Lord.
