श्रीमद्भगवद् गीता



    भगवद् गीता हिन्दू धरम की पवित्र  ग्रंथो  में से एक है ।श्री कृष्ण ने गीता का सन्देश पाण्डव
    राजकुमार अजुर्न को सुनाया था । ये एक स्मिरती ग्रन्थ  है । इसमें एकेश्वरवाद की बहुत सुन्दर ढंग
    से चर्चा  हुई है।

    श्रीमद्भगवद् गीता की पृष्ठभूमि  महाभारत का युद्ध है।
    िजस प्रकार  एक सामान्य मनुस्य  अपने जीवन
    की समस्याओ में उलझकर कीकतर्व्यिवमूढ़ हो जाता है और उसके पश्चात  जीवन के समरांगण
    से पलायन करने का मन बना लेता है। उसी  प्रकार अजुर्न जो कि महाभारत का महानायक है अपने
    सामने आने वाली  समस्याओ से भयभीत होकर जीवन और कमर्क्षेत्र  से निराश  हो गया है।अजुर्न
    की तरह ही हम सभी कभी-कभी अनिश्चय  की सिथिति में या तो हताश हो जाते हैं और या फिर 
    अपनी  से उद्विगन  होकर कतर्व्य विमुख हो जाते हैं।भारत वर्स के ऋिषयों नें गहन विचार
    के पश्चात जिस  ज्ञान को आत्मसात किया उसे उन्होंने वेदों का नाम दिया। इन्हीं वेदों का अंतिम 
    भाग उपिनषद कहलाता है। मानव जीवन की विशेषता  मानव को प्राप्त  बोधिक  शक्ति  है और
    उपिनषदों में निहित  ज्ञान मानव की बौिद्धकता की उच्चतम अवस्था  तो है ही, अपितु  बुधि की
    सीमाओं के परे मनुंय क्या अनुभव कर सकता है यह हमारे उपिनषद् एक झलक दिखा देते हैं। उसी औपिनषदीय ज्ञान को महिषर् वेदव्यास ने सामान्य जनों के लिए गीता में संिक्षप्त रूप में प्रस्तुत 
    किया  है। वेदव्यास की महानता ही है, जो कि 11 उपिनषदों के ज्ञान को एक पुस्तक में बाँध सके
    और मानवता को एक आसान युक्ति  से परमात्मा  ज्ञान का दशर्न करा सके।
