As detailed by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita spirituality could be practiced by human beings anywhere world over! Even while following ones religion… one could indulge in path of contemplation, introspection… logical reasoning… to reach hidden cosmic truths of life contained in scriptures of different religions of world. One need not convert to Hinduism for understanding precepts of spirituality contained in Bhagavad Gita.
Still seeds of spirituality lay in erstwhile Bharatvarsha (now India). To reach stage of enlightenment, understanding Bhagavad Gita in totality was necessitated. Nothing in Bhagavad Gita could be understood literally, one needs following path of contemplation to reach our true inner self. For understanding Bhagavad Gita in totality, India was definitely a better place where one could indulge in Satsanga (spiritual congregations, discussions) to clarify our queries that came from within.
The original gist of Bhagavad Gita was in Sanskrit. Even though knowledge of Sanskrit was not necessitated… still, while living in India one could understand Bhagavad Gita better. Commendable commentaries on Bhagavad Gita both in English and Hindi were available from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India. Knowledgeable, learned scholars of Sanskrit were available only in India. For understanding Bhagavad Gita, Hindi was the best medium available.
Interpretations, even commentaries often get distorted. But teachings of enlightened ones were available in India in hordes. One could easily indulge in teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana… the two spiritual stalwarts who succeeded in reaching stage of enlightenment in their lifetime. If we could follow life journey of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi Ramana… nothing in this world could stop us from gaining enlightenment in present life time.
