In the Bhagavad-gita Krsna says to Arjuna that "I am speaking to you this science of Bhagavad-gita." Imam vivasvate yogam proktavan aham avyayam [Bg. 4.1]. Idam yogam. Bhagavad-gita means bhakti-yogam. So Krsna said formerly, say, four hundred millions of years ago. Bhagavad-gita is not new. It is... First of all it was spoken to sun-god, and from the Manu's age and others' age we can calculate it is about some millions of years ago it was spoken. Imam vivasvate yogam proktavan aham avyayam [Bg. 4.1]. So Krsna said, "That very old yoga system I am speaking to you again. It is not a new thing that I am manufacturing for you. No." Everything... God is eternal and His instruction is also eternal. And the followers are also eternal. There is nothing new. Nityah sasvato 'yam puranah. Nityah sasvato 'yam puranah. Very old, but still, it is eternal and fresh. This is spiritual matter. You read Bhagavad-gita. It was spoken four hundred millions of years ago, and then again, five thousand years ago. Still, if you read Bhagavad-gita daily, you will find it fresh. You will never find it old. As Krsna is never old, advaitam acyutam anadim ananta-rupam adyam purana-purusam [Bs. 5.33]. Krsna is the Purana..., the oldest man, but nava-yauvanam ca. But He is always... See. You will find Krsna just a young boy of twenty years. Nava-yauvanam ca. So similarly, Krsna's words, everything Krsna, absolute. His name, His form, His quality, His activitiesthey are all fresh and new. Otherwise, how the devotees can glorify the same Krsna daily with greater enthusiasm? Greater enthusiasm. The more you glorify, you feel more enthusiastic to more glorify, glorify, glorify.   (More...)
