It guides the lives of people all over the world. Mahatma Gandhi regarded it as the “Mother”, to whom the children (humanity) turned when in distress. Sri Swami Sivananda wants us to study daily at least one discourse of the scripture, so that its great lessons are ever fresh in our memory.  \nEach discourse has been preceded by a short summary giving the substance of that discourse in a nutshell.  \nWe are extremely grateful to Sri Swami Chidananda, the World-President of the Divine Life Society, for his Foreword and assistance in the preparation of some of the summaries.  \nDivine Life Society Shivanandanagar Rishikesh, U.P.  \nCONTENTS  \nPublishers’ Note.......................................... iv  \n[Foreword ............................................. vi](Foreword ............................................. vi)  \n[Preface .............................................. vii](Preface .............................................. vii)  \n[Introduction ........................................... xvii](Introduction ........................................... xvii)  \nPrayer to Vyasa .......................................... 1  \nPrayer to the Guru ......................................... 1  \nPrayer to Lord Krishna....................................... 1  \nGita Mahatmya........................................... 3  \nGita Dhyanam ........................................... 7  \n1.
