In the age when the right to learn the Vedic Literature was confined to only a particular class, Lord Krishna conveyed the gist of knowledge enshrined in our scriptures to Arjuna through the divine message called the GITA. Thus He made this supreme knowledge accessible to all classes of the society. In this sense the Gita is a revolutionary creation if its age and for all the ages.

Dayanand Verma (1931) He has published books/articles on subjects like spiritualism, psychology etc. His deep knowledge of spiritualism and yoga won him the Vishwa Yoga Sammelan 1986 award and the title YOGARATNA. This interpretation of Gita is culmination of his deep study and thinking.

My father, Shri Gela Ramji, ran a bookshop in Multan, West Punjab (now in Pakistan). Everyday, after school hours, I was under his strict instructions to reach the bookshop. I went to Shishtachar Ashram-a primary school managed by a religious institution. The bookshop visits gave me an opportunity to read books which had nothing to do with subjects taught at school. My journey of reading books began with fairytales and then took me through a wide variety of subjects. This journey still continues... There were books on various subjects, like religion, literature, science and general knowledge. I got the chance to work my way through all those books. I would pick up any which had something of interest and sat in a corner and read. And often got reprimanded on account of this "addiction".
