The supremely compassionate bhagavan Sri Krsnacandra gave the instructions of Srimad Bhagavad-gita to his dear associate and friend arjuna for the benefit of the living entities of the world. Srimad Bhagavad-gita, which is an investigation into the essential import of all the Vedas, is therefore the crest jewel of all Upanisads. it describes the mutual relationship between the processes of karma-yoga, jnana-yoga and so on and expounds pure hari-bhakti as the supreme goal of the living entities.
