| |
| | from Sri Krishna the original guru.
|

| |
| | (Anonymous inmate, he holds a very nice
|
| regularly write to me, to write down a
| |
| | Krishna Conscious program on festival
|
| few lines about how they received the 1st
| |
| | days in the prison)
|
| copy of Bhagavad Gita As It Is and what
| |
| | Krishna reveals Himself in Bhagavad Gita:
|
| they learned from the Gita and what are
| |
| | I read all the books on Buddhist
|
| their favorite verses. I have tried to
| |
| | philosophy and I was not satisfied. As I
|
| keep the inmates responses as it is in
| |
| | read Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Krishna
|
| order to keep the originality of the
| |
| | began to reveal Himself to me and the
|
| text. The following is a compilation of
| |
| | realizations were so deep. The
|
| inmate's quotes:
| |
| | information of Bhagavad Gita totally made
|
| Supreme Knowledge: I got Bhagavad Gita As
| |
| | Buddhist literature seem weak. Besides
|
| It is from the Vedic resources. I learned
| |
| | reading Gita, I decided to chant one
|
| it is Divine instruction for the
| |
| | round of Hare Krishna Maha-mantra. By
|
| battlefield of one's life to serve the
| |
| | doing these two things I had a spiritual
|
| Supreme Personality of Godhead. My
| |
| | experience, this is something I will
|
| favorite verse is in chapter 9, This
| |
| | never forget, something that has changed
|
| knowledge of Gita is king of education,
| |
| | my life forever. (Kyle Weatherwax,
|
| the secret of all secrets. It is the
| |
| | Mineral Wells, TX)
|
| purest of all knowledge and because it
| |
| | Give up all forms of religion and
|
| gives direct perception of self
| |
| | surrender unto Me: Once I was child in
|
| realization, it is the perfection of all
| |
| | the juvenile lock up in the Orange
|
| religion. This is Raja-Vidya as there is
| |
| | County, CA, where I met a long haired boy
|
| no higher knowledge than Bhagavad Gita.
| |
| | who would read Bhagavad Gita very nicely,
|
| It is spoken on the battlefield of
| |
| | he had a name like Arjuna, may be it was
|
| Kuruksetra between Sri Krishna and His
| |
| | John or Aaron. He would sit up perfectly
|
| disciple friend Arjuna. (Mark Barnett,
| |
| | straight and read the Bhagavad Gita and
|
| Canon City, CO, he is seriously
| |
| | he would teach me how to pronounce the
|
| practicing Krishna Consciousness)
| |
| | Sanskrit. My favorite verse in the Gita
|
| Bhagavad Gita must be understood in
| |
| | is where Krishna says to Arjuna, give up
|
| Disciplic Succession: I found a Bhagavad
| |
| | all forms of religion and just surrender
|
| Gita As It Is in a used bookstore, as
| |
| | unto Me. (H. Sullivan, CA)
|
| soon as I saw it I purchased it
| |
| | Everyone has to follow Krishna's will: I
|
| immediately, I was already familiar with
| |
| | received the copy of Bhagavad Gita from
|
| Srila Prabhupada's books by reading BTG
| |
| | H. G. Chandra Sekhar ACBSP in 2001. I
|
| (Back to Godhead Magazine), BTG was given
| |
| | have learned from the Gita that I am not
|
| to me by sankirtana devotee. Under Srila
| |
| | this body I am spirit soul, I am eternal
|
| Prabhupada's expert qualified guidance, I
| |
| | and once dwelled with God. My goal is to
|
| learned that Gita must be understood in
| |
| | return home back to Godhead, and only way
|
| the disciplic chain of succession. When
| |
| | to do this is through devotional service
|
| approached by a sincere student, a bona
| |
| | unto Lord Krishna; and I must become His
|
| fide guru transmits knowledge of the
| |
| | devotee. To become Lord Krishna's devotee
|
| Absolute Truth, namely knowledge of soul,
| |
| | I must render service unto Him and follow
|
| the relationship between soul and
| |
| | His will which is set forth in the Vedic
|
| supersoul, understanding of the time
| |
| | literature specifically set forth in the
|
| activity and cosmic manifestation. This
| |
| | Gita. The basic of devotional service is
|
| knowledge is contained in the Bhagavad

| | the hearing and chanting of Krishna's
|
| Gita, and Bhagavad Gita must be accepted
| |
| | glorious pastimes and names and to follow
|
| in the manner Arjuna, disciple accepted
