Even today, 2492 years later, works of philosophers like Socrates are still admired and read, then what to speak of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is the creator, Maintainer, and annihilator of the entire creation, who is the intelligence of the intelligents. How can his teachings go out of relevance?
Many people who have been scientists and philosophers have agreed that the Bhagavad Gita alongside being a transcendental science has also had a lot of effect on the practical style of their lives. Bhagavad Gita is like a manual of our Life, If we have to buy any electronic device we consider the manual, But we become negligent in considering the manual of our most valuable Human Life. Bhagavad Gita gives insights on life, this and next.
