“The Gita embodies in itself a solution to the immediate pressing problems of man and carries a message of encouragement, hope, cheer and consolation. It is a direct appeal to divinize the entire nature of man. This little book of 701 verses is a constant companion for every man. It gives man a positive promise of salvation and makes him fearless. Therein lies the supreme value of the Gita.”
—Swami Sivananda, 1946

All of life is presented as a perfectly complete organic wholeness, leaving nothing unsaid and attempting to solve every problem of life. Thus, the Bhagavad Gita has been acclaimed to be a gospel of life.
