Bhagavad gita Quotes

"When I read the Bhagavad Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." Albert Einstein

“ In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial ”. (Henry Thoreau)

“ I owed a magnificent day to The Bhagavad Gita. It was the first of books; as if it were an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but (the) large serene consistent voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us ”. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)


"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it everyday." Mahatma Gandi

The exact quote from the Bhagavad-Gita is:

If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one ...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds.
