Bhagavad Gita, a philosophical poem comprising seven hundred Sanskrit verses, is one of the most important philosophical and literary works known to man. More commentaries have been written upon the Gita than upon any other philosophical or religious text in history. As a classic of timeless wisdom, it is the main literary support for the oldest surviving spiritual culture in the world-that of India's Vedic civilization. Not only has the Gita directed the religious life of many centuries of Hindus, but, owing to the pervasive influence of religious concepts in Vedic civilization, the Gita has shaped India's social, ethical, cultural and even political life as well. Attesting to India's nearly universal acceptance of the Gita, practically every sectarian cult and school of Hindu thought, representing a vast spectrum of religious and philosophical views, accepts Bhagavad-gita as the summum bonum guide to spiritual truth. The Gita, therefore, more than any other single historical source, provides penetrating insight into the metaphysical and psychological foundation of India's Vedic culture, both ancient and contemporary.
博伽梵歌是一部包含七百首梵文经文的哲学诗,是人类已知的最重要的哲学和文学作品之一。关于《圣经》的评论多于历史上任何其他哲学或宗教文本。作为永恒智慧的经典,它是对世界上现存最古老的精神文化(印度吠陀文明)的主要文学支持。 《吉塔》不仅指导了许多世纪的印度教徒的宗教生活,而且由于宗教观念在吠陀文化中的广泛影响,《吉塔》也改变了印度的社会,道德,文化甚至政治生活。为了证明印度几乎普遍接受《吉塔》,几乎每一个教派的教派和印度教思想流派都代表了广泛的宗教和哲学观点,他们接受《博伽梵歌》是对属灵真理的全面指导。因此,《吉塔》比其他任何单一的历史渊源都更深入地洞悉了印度吠陀文化的形而上学和心理基础,包括古代和现代文化。
