BHAGVAD GITA: THE DINIVE SONG
The philosophies and insights of the Bhagvad Gita transcends all religions and reach out to humanity as a whole by virtue of their sheer relevance at all times. It is regarded as the world's most ancient sacred scripture available to mankind from time immemorial.
In the Gita verses 1 and 2 of chapter 4, the lord Krishna himself has declared that "I taught this Imperishable science of Yoga to Vivian, the Sun God, who taught it to his son Manu; and Kind Manu in turn taught it to his son Ikshvaku. Thus, the royal sage received this knowledge that was handed down to them in continuous succession. But with the passage of time, this knowledge has been lost to the world." It was reinitiated to Arjuna 5140 years back. Based on modern scientific calculations supported by the ancient scriptures it can be authentically said that the Bhagvad Gita was spoken by the Lord to Vivasan (Sun God) 1 Billion, 971 Million, 828 thousand 568 earthly years ago.
