Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 Gnana Vignana Yoga
As Lord Shiva narrated to Goddess Partvathi that reciting of
the 7th Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, one would be able to get liberated
from the wheel of birth and death. Performing rituals for ancestors and on that
day feeding a Brahmin who regularly chants the 7th Chapter of Śrīmad
Bhagavad-gītā, are appropriate actions for Pithru Dosha.
In Śrīmad
Bhagavad-gītā, Krishna tells Arjuna He will explain how one can know Him (God)
by practicing non-attachment. Krishna imparts to Arjuna that He (God) is the
fundamental essence of the universe and that his current form is just an
earthly incarnation. Most people, Krishna explains, cannot understand that he
is the essence in all things.
