instructed it to Manu, the father of
mankind, and Manu in turn instructed
it to Ikṣvāku. BG 4.1

History of Bhagavad Gita
“evaṁ paramparā-prāptam
imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ
sa kāleneha mahatā
yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa”
“This supreme science was thus

received through the chain of
disciplic succession, and the saintly
kings understood it in that way. But in
course of time the succession was
broken, and therefore the science as
it is appears to be lost”. BG 4.2

MANGALURU
Gita came on earth
In the Mahäbhärata (Çänti-parva 348.51-52) we can trace out the history of the Gétä as follows:
tretä-yugädau ca tato vivasvän manave dadau
manuç ca loka-bhåty-arthaà sutäyekñväkave dadau
ikñväkuëä ca kathito vyäpya lokän avasthitäù
"In the beginning of the Tretä-yuga [millennium] this science of the relationship with the Supreme was delivered
by Vivasvän to Manu. Manu, being the father of mankind, gave it to his son Mahäräja Ikñväku, the King of this
earth planet and forefather of the Raghu dynasty in which Lord Rämacandra appeared. Therefore, Bhagavad-gétä
existed in the human society from the time of Mahäräja Ikñväku."
Treta and Dwapara = 5*432000 2160000

original transcendental form.” BG

Appear
yadā yadā hi dharmasya
glānir bhavati bhārata
abhyutthānam adharmasya
tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in

religious practice, O descendant of Bharata,
and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that
time I descend Myself.”BG 4.7
MANGALURU
Why does Krishna
Appear
“paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ
vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya
sambhavāmi yuge yuge”
“In order to deliver the pious and to

annihilate the miscreants, as well as to
reestablish the principles of religion, I advent
Myself millennium after millennium.” BG 4.8
MANGALURU
What is the benefit of
Knowing Krishna
janma karma ca me divyam
evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ
tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma
naiti mām eti so 'rjuna
“One who knows the transcendental nature of

My appearance and activities does not, upon
leaving the body, take his birth again in this
material world, but attains My eternal abode,
O Arjuna.” BG 4.9

“vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhā
man-mayā mām upāśritāḥ
bahavo jñāna-tapasā
pūtā mad-bhāvam āgatāḥ”
BG 4.10
MANGALURU
ye yathā māṁ prapadyante
tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham
11
All of them—as they surrender

unto Me—I reward accordingly
MANGALURU
12
Men in this world desire success in

fruitive activities, and therefore they
worship the demigods. Quickly, of
course, men get results from fruitive
work in this world.
MANGALURU
17
cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ
guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ
tasya kartāram api māṁ
viddhy akartāram avyayam
According to the three modes of

material nature and the work
ascribed to them, the four divisions
of human society were created by
Me. And, although I am the creator
of this system, you should know
that I am yet the non-doer, being
unchangeable
MANGALURU
na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti
na me karma-phale spṛhā
iti māṁ yo 'bhijānāti
karmabhir na sa badhyate
14
There is no work that

affects Me; nor do I aspire
for the fruits of action. One
who understands this truth
about Me also does not
become entangled in the
fruitive reactions of work.
MANGALURU
4.17
karmaṇo hy api boddhavyaṁ
boddhavyaṁ ca vikarmaṇaḥ
akarmaṇaś ca boddhavyaṁ
gahanā karmaṇo gatiḥ

“The intricacies of action are very hard to understand.
Therefore one should know properly what action is, what
MANGALURU
forbidden action is, and what inactionwww.iskconmangaluru.com
is.”
Akarma
MANGALURU
4.13
“cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ
guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ
tasya kartāram api māṁ
viddhy akartāram avyayam”

“According to the three modes of
material nature and the work
ascribed to them, the four divisions
of human society were created by
Me. And, although I am the creator
of this system, you should know
that I am yet the non-doer, being
MANGALURU
unchangeable.” www.iskconmangaluru.com
4.34
tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ
Just try to learn the truth by

approaching a spiritual
master. Inquire from him
submissively and render
service unto him. The self-
realized soul can impart
knowledge unto you because
he has seen the truth
