do you any know Bagavat Gita the bible of hindus?

Question

it teaches to kill if necessary , otherwise GOOD wont prevail. do you agree?l

Answer 1

Firstly, the person who wrote the above comment about "killing anyone who's not Christian" is just quite ignorant. Please look around at the world, even city, you live in and gain some knowledge before speaking again of such things. Many of the things that you use/eat are made by people who are probably not Christian. You are living in a world of immigrants. How can you have the nerve to utter such ignorant comments? Have you not learnt anything from the US's history?

Secondly, no, I do not agree with the details entailed in your question. You have to read more into the Gita in order to fully understand the meaning behind what is going on. On this website (1), read the "purport" section. It details exactly what you're referring to in this question. Then when you realize you have gathered wrongly from the Gita, you can change your question or delete it.

Thirdly, if you want to judge, take a look at this: it's from a website (2) I was browsing through.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill" or "Thou Shalt Not Murder"?
At a monastic retreat near Paris, in July of 1973, Srila Prabhupada talked with Cardinal Jean Danielou: "... the Bible does not simply say, `Do not kill the human being.' It says broadly, `Thou shalt not kill.'... why do you interpret this to suit your own convenience?"

Think about it, it makes a lot of sense...

Answer 2

I've studied" Bhagavad-gita As It Is" by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, for many years. You need to read the entire book under the guidance of a bona-fide teacher, to be able to understand what you are questioning about. There is always a time and place for violence. It may be necessary under certain circumstances, and easily avoided in others. The Bhagavad-Gita is a not a book someone at sometime invented (Hindus for example). It is a timeless revealed scripture that transcends all religions and races. It deals with the science of the self and of God. It is meant for all peoples everywhere, no matter what their religion is, or race, or color, or age, or gender.

Answer 3

The term is Bhagavad Gita, this is sanskrit, Bhagavad means God and Gita means song, so Bhagavad Gita translates into The Song of God.

You are correct when you state that the Bhagavad Gita is accepted in Vedic India like the Christian Bible is accepted in the West.

In Vedic understanding, the Bhagavad Gita is spoken by The Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Krishna to his friend and disciple Arjuna, on a battlefield in Northern India called Kuruksetra 5,000 years ago.

To understand this fratricidal conflict, which was fought by Ksatriya soldiers only and did not affect civilians, from the Kuru dynasty, you must study the Mahabharata, of which the Bhagavad Gita is one episode.

The discourse between Krishna and Arjuna, produced one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual dialogues in the known world, it is appreciated and universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom, containing 700 verses which provide a definitive guide to the science of self realisation.

As Krishna is accepted in Vedic understanding as The Supreme Personality of Godhead, after study of the full and complete Mahabharat, the understanding is derived that the whole arrangement for this conflict served many purposes, including the speaking of this topmost philosophy.

In no way, shape or form should the example of Kuruksetra be compared to the thinly veiled manipulation of unscrupulous leaders to use religion or spirituality as a means for war.

I would request that you or in fact anyone in this forum, who requires detailed information, debate or dialogue about the Bhagavad Gita to kindly make contact as follows:-Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari ([e-mail])

Answer 4

First of all, Geeta cant be referred to as Bible because Bible is a divine book and Geeta is a collection of history events and their morals driven out of the oldest culture (Hinduism).

Secondly, it is not always wrong to kill some one, nor is it violence. One has to see who is being killed and under what circumstances. If the criminals are not killed and are let free, they will make the lives of others miserable. That is why the legal courts and justice departments are there to decide what to do with evil forces.

At times it becomes necessary to kill the evil so that good can pervail. Dont you kill the darkness by switching on the bulb so that light can be spread around?

Is it not a commonly said proverb to "nip the evil in the bud"?
