"In
the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous
and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita, in
comparison with which our modern world and its
literature seems puny and
trivial."
-
Henry David Thoreau
"I
owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was
the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to
us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene,
consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which
in another age and climate had pondered and thus
disposed of the same questions which exercise
us."
-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When
doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in
the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the
horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-gita and find a verse
to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in
the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who
meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new
meanings from it every day."

Mohandas K. Gandhi
