Introduction

The Bhagavad Gita is a sacred Hindu scripture, considered among the most important texts in the history of literature and philosophy. The Bhagavad Gita comprises roughly 700 verses, and is a part of the Mahabharata.

The content of the Gita is the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield before the start of the Kurukshetra war. Responding to Arjuna's moral dilemma about fighting his own cousins, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and elaborates on different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu theology and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. (Wikipedia)

Japa Quotes

The holy name of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent; therefore when a devotee chants Hare Krsna, Krsna and His internal potency are dancing on the tongue of the devotee. (Srila Prabhupada - Bhagavad Gita As It Is 12.8p)
O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them. (Lord Chaitanya - Sikshashtaka 2)
One achieves bhakti (love of God) by hearing and chanting about the Supreme Lord's special qualities, even while engaged in the ordinary activities of life in this world. (Sri Narada Muni - Narada-Bhakti-Sutra 37)
Prema (divine love), the fruit of the creeper of bhakti, grows on the creeper only when she attains to the feet of Krsna. All the time the gardener continues to splash the creeper with the water of hearing and chanting the holy name of Krsna. (Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura - Treasure of Bhakti)
The materialist thinks that persons engaged in Krsna Consciousness are crazy fellows wasting time by chanting Hare Krsna, but actually he does not know that he himself is in the darkest region of craziness because of accepting his body as permanent. (Srila Prabhupada - Srimad Bhagavatam 3.30.3p)
