15th Chap BG

Gita Mahatmiyam
• Lord Vishnu said, “I Myself have manifested in the Form

of Bhagavad-gita. Please understand that the first five
chapters are My five heads, the next ten chapters are
My ten Arms, and the Sixteenth Chapter is My stomach.
The last two chapters are My lotus-feet. In this way you
should understand the transcendental Deity of the
Bhagavad-gita. This Bhagavad-gita is the destroyer of all
sins. And that intelligent man who daily recites one
chapter or even one shloka, one half shloka, or at least
one quarter shloka, will attain the same position as
Susharma had attained.”
The form of the Bhagavad Gita 18 chapters
• HEAD – 5
• HANDS – 10
• STOMACH – 1
• LOTUS FEET – 2
• The destroyer of all sins, an intelligent man who daily
recites one chapter or even one shloka, one half shloka, or
at least one quarter shloka, will attain the highest position

Section theme
Just as one can see the reflection of a banyan tree in the water
of a river or a pond, the material world is a reflection of the
spiritual world – the kingdom of God. The existence of a
reflected tree proves the existence of a real tree. Similarly the
existence of this world, which is like a temporary reflection,
proves the existence of the spiritual world, which is the
eternal residence of the Supreme Lord. Imperfect persons
with selfish desires prefer to remain in this world. Perfect
persons full of love for God and for every living being are
allowed to live in that paradise. The qualities of such a perfect
person are mentioned in Text 5.

• The Lord concludes the previous section by describing the amazing
qualites of the Srupreme abode and the means to achieve it. The
proper means to achieve complete fredom is to surrender to Him and
enter into His kingdom.
• Krsna begins theis section by giving a description the fater of one who
cannot surrender to Him. Such a person must remain on the Banyan
tree of material existence, jumping from branch to branch, tring to
enjoy his senses. This process of jumping from branch to branch (from
one species to the other – in the circle of birth, old age, disease and
death). One who is trained in this knowledge can easily understand it,
others can’t.

cultivating attachment, love and surrender to the Supreme Lord. We
can begin to appreciate God as the Creator, Maintainer of the
material world. Krsna also maintains each one of us on an individual
level. He provides remembrance of the past pleasant experiences and
forgetfulness of the unpleasant experiences. He also provides
knowledge of His kingdom in the scripture so that we all can become
free and again join Him in our eternal home. When we understand
and appreciate God’s love for us, we completely fall in love with Him
and make Him the ultimate goal of life.

Section theme
• There are two types of persons – the perfect and the imperfect. Those
who are living in this material world of birth and death and are attached to
their material bodies are imperfect or conditioned souls. Those who are
free to live in the spiritual kingdom of God are perfect or liberated souls.
• Above both of these persons is the Supreme Personality of Godhead who
maintains both these types of persons as a parent maintains their
children. The process of Yoga should help us to reach the kingdom of God.
