Gita is not meant for any one person or nation. It is meant for humanity. Gita is one of the most ancient religious scriptures of the world. It contains the direct message of GOD. It is a dialogue between God and his closest devotee. This was originally delivered in sanskrit, but
today it is available in almost every language with translations. It is connected to the life of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who played a key role in Mahabharata.
Usually there is a myth that Gita should be read only after the age of 60. However I am writing this blog to indicate that Gita can be heard or read at anytime in life. Also I have not read the entire Gita. I have just completed chapter 1, but before doing that I have heard a lot about the right age to read Gita.
Gita delivers the messages that are still good for the current era and will hold good for years to come. Gita tells you how to lead a life to reach moksha. These are the words that are delivered by God to Arjuna. There are messages that Lord Krishna states in Gita which holds good for Arjuna and also for current generation of man kind. Gita takes about Athma , what death means, what should a human do to reach Moksha etc. If a person reads Gita at the age of 60, he is almost at the end of his life and he will not have enough time to follow the steps that Lord Krishna delivers in Gita. Even if someone reads at the age of 20, he cannot follow the entire Gita for his remaining life because there is a need for a complete transformation from what one does currently and what he is been asked to do through Gita.
So my advise would be to read Gita at the earliest so that we can understand what human life is,
why one is born as a human, what are his tasks in his current birth, what are the best ways to lead a life inorder to reach God. These are my personal opinion after reading the first chapter of Gita.
