	The Gita Vision
		The practice of the Bhagavad Gita is not in a hermitage nor in a secluded place aloof from mankind; it is not in a forest where the Upanishads were realised and put down for our benefit.
		It is Gita integrated into your practical day-to-day life that will ultimately take you from death, mortality and bondage to this wheel of rebirth to a supreme realm of immortality and everlasting eternal life.
		Therefore, the philosophy of the Gita is an educative process of bringing the individual soul from a state of wrong understanding, a state of a mixed-up interior, a state of confusion, into a higher state of right understanding, a clarity of perception and vision and a very clear interior.

	About the Gita (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)

		The Gita has become a universal Gospel because of it’s eternal message to everyone irrespective of land, race, language or time.It wonderfully combines scriptural poetry and logical reasoning of high order.
