As
a girl of 16, Vanamali Mataji was first introduced to the depth of The
Sreemad Bhagavad Gita by the sage
Swami Chinmayananda. Her life's work is to live these teachings. Her ashram,
Vanamali Gita Yogasrama, overlooks the Ganga in Rishikesh, India. The Ashram
follows and tries to propagate the ancient yogic way of life as taught by
Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
The
Srimad Bhagavid Gita is a spiritual dialogue between
Lord Krishna and Arjuna a dialogue of and on Dharma. It
comes in the middle portion of the great epic, the
Mahabharatha written by the sage Vyasa.
Lord
Krishna was the avatar or the incarnation of the Supreme Being into
the form of a human being whereas Arjuna typifies the ordinary man, faced
with one of the most difficult problems which anyone could conceive- the
killing of his own kinsman.
The
whole dialogue is placed in the middle of the battlefield of
Kurukshetra amidst
the din and clamor of a fratricidal war. Arjuna's
problem was a particular one related to his particular need. Lord
Krishna's answer is the whole of the Bhagavad Gita, and cuts at the
root of the human problem - which
is ignorance. Ignorance of the nature of our own selves, ignorance of
the nature of the Supreme Being and
ignorance of the nature of the universe which we inhabit. This
is the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

divine. This book

In the final
words of Sanjaya in the Gita: "I am

united."

Divine Charioteer guide all of us through the battlefield of
