Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

People do not believe that Kṛṣṇa is a historical person, at the same time, He's the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They think that He is a very learned man or a great politician, or a beautiful man, like that.


Therefore we are presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is, and it is being accepted all over the world. We have the greatest sale of our edition, this Bhagavad-gītā. Just three months before, I got report: in London, in two months, we sold about thirty thousand copies. And the trades manager of Macmillan Company, he has sent me letter that while the other editions, they're diminishing, this edition is increasing by sale. Why? Because it is presented as it is, without any wrong interpretation. People are appreciating. This is a fact.

So people do not believe that Kṛṣṇa is a historical person, at the same time, He's the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They think that He is a very learned man or a great politician, or a beautiful man, like that. Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam, paraṁ bhāvam ajānantaḥ (BG 9.11). They do not understand the background of Kṛṣṇa. So this thing is being clarified by the question of Arjuna, aparaṁ bhavato janma. "You are born along with me. You are my contemporary." And paraṁ janma vivasvataḥ, "And the sun-god, or the president of the sun, Mr. Vivasvān, he's long, long ago. How can I believe that You talked with him?" This is the question. Aparaṁ bhavato janma paraṁ janma vivasvataḥ, katham etad vijānīyām (BG 4.4). "How I shall believe it?" Yes. This is possible, to inquire like that. Tvam ādau proktavān iti. "You first of all spoke this." This is the difference between God and the living entity. The . . . God does not forget. We forget. This answer will be in the next verse: bahūni me vyatītāni janmāni tava cārjuna tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi (BG 4.5), "I understand. I know everything." In another place Kṛṣṇa . . . that, "I know the past, present, future." That is knowledge.
