It stresses that the purpose of the Gita is to guide conditioned souls back to understanding Krishna's divine nature and their eternal relationship with Him. The document urges individuals to prioritize the satisfaction of the Lord's senses over mundane material comforts for true happiness.

About Lord Sri Krishna
He is Supreme

6. Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Preface
Lord Caitanya has warned us about these
unauthorized commentaries
CC Mad 6.169
Mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva nasa
“Srila Vyasadeva presented the Vedanta
philosophy for the deliverance of
conditioned souls, but if one hears the
commentary of Sankaracarya, everything
is spoiled.”
Mayavada-bhasya
Scholars, Politicians, Philosophers and Swami’s writing commentary on Srimad Bhagavad
Gita, without perfect knowledge of Krsna, try to banish or kill Krsna, such unauthorized
commentary is known as Mayavada-bhasya
Why? Certainly bewildered on the path
of spiritual guidance and will not be able
to go back to home, Back to Godhead.

7. Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Preface
Purpose of Srimad Bhagavad Gita As It Is
Guide Conditioned Soul to the
same purpose for which Krsna
descends to this planet once in
day of Brahma (8,600,000,000
Years)
This purpose is stated in
Bhagavad Gita & we have to
accept it as it is, otherwise no
point in understanding Gita &
its speaker Krsna
To interpret Bhagavad Gita
without any reference to the
will of Krsna is greatest
offence b/c it defeats the whole
purpose.
In order save oneself one
must understand Sri Krsna as
was directly understood by
Arjuna, Krsna’s first disciple
& fulfill mission of life
KC movement is very essential for human
society as it defeats the mundane
speculators and make them understand
Krsna’s position and their factual position
as eternal servant of Lord and revive their
eternal relationship. Hence every living
being should hear for their own interest.
In Kaliyuga people in general think
advancement in material comforts
(sense gratification) will make them
happy, they are unaware of the
stringent laws of the material nature
which is binding them.
Instead of satisfying their own material
sense, one has to satisfy the senses of the
Lord, That is the highest perfection of life.
Lord Krsna wants this & He demands it.
This is central point of BG and KCM
teaches this Theme, on should take help
from KCM & derive the greatest benefit
of studying Bhagavad Gita As It Is and
become pure devotee of Lord
