Bhagavad-Gita

Has anyone out there ever read the Bhagavad-Gita?
(ISBN: 0892131233)

I found this sanskrit poem today today describing it's
special spiritual potency and thought I'd share it:


(Gita-mahatmya 4)

gita su-gita kartavya
kim anyaih sastra-vistaraih
ya svayam padmanabhasya
mukha-padmad vinihsrita


Translation:

'Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead'.
