It is believed that a seeker who recites Shrimadbhagwadgita daily, while enjoying all the pleasures, attains salvation at the end.

Why did Lord Krishna give the teachings of Gita?

In the Mahabharata period, when there was a religious war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas in the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna became emotional about fighting with his own brothers and elders. Then Lord Krishna told Arjuna the difference between right and wrong and gave a message to remove his illusion and do his work while walking on the path of religion. Following this path shown by Lord Krishna, the Pandavas had conquered the Kauravas. The teachings of Gita given by Lord Shri Krishna are relevant in this period as well, which are adopted not only by Hindus but also by people belonging to other religions in their lives.

On the greatness of the Gita, Shri Krishna has said in the Padma Purana that the Gita alone is a sufficient scripture for liberation from the bondage of birth and death. The purpose of Gita is considered to be the knowledge of God. There is a description of many Vidyas in the Bhagavad Gita, of which four are the main ones – Abhaya Vidya, Samya Vidya, Ishvara Vidya.

Vidya and Brahma Vidya. It is believed that Abhay Vidya removes the fear of death. Samya Vidya creates a sense of equality in the creature by getting rid of attachment-hatred. Due to the influence of God's knowledge, the seeker avoids the disorder of ego and pride. Brahma Vidya awakens the Brahma Bhava in the soul.
