AUM O! Mother Bhagavad Gita!- with which, Partha was enlightened
by LordNarayana Himself, which was composed and placed in the
middle of the Mahabharata by the ancient Sage Vyasa. which showers the nectar (philosophy) of Non-duality, which is glorious, which contains eighteen chapters, and which is an antidote to the experience of change (samsara), I constantly meditate upon Thee.

Salutation unto thee, O! Vyasa, whose intellect is vast,
whose eyes are as large as the petals of a full-blown lotus,
by whom was lighted the lamp of wisdom and
the full essence of the Mahabharata.

"To have a Guru in life
does not mean sailing
on a boat with no storms......
it means having a boat
that no storm can sink."
