What is Uddhava Gita?
What is Uddhava Gita?The Uddhava Gita offers a previously unexplored path to understanding Hinduism and Krishna’s wisdom.
Written centuries apart, the ideas of the two dialogues are similar although their approach and contexts differ.
The Bhagavad Gita is filled with the urgency of battle while The Uddhava Gita takes place on the eve of Krishna’s departure from the world.
The Uddhava Gita offers the reader philosophy, sublime poetry, practical guidance, and, ultimately, hope for a more complete consciousness in which the life of the body better reflects the life of the spirit.
Uddhava Gita, which is part of the Bhagavata’s eleventh book, has been published as a separate volume. Despite this special attention, it has never enjoyed the popularity of the Bhagavad Gita, especially in the West.
Among Vaishnavas and Hindus in general, however, the Uddhava Gita is one of the most frequently quoted sections of the Bhagavata.
It is unmatched in its systematic development of Vaishnava theology on a wide range of topics — from the importance of detachment and the contemplative life to passionate love, from the organisation of society to a theology of nature that is spiritually informed. Ultimately, it teaches the secrets of the love of God.
The Uddhava Gita is a profound philosophical dialogue between lord Krishna & his devotee Uddhava who is also Krishna’s cousin, and practically His twin.
At the very least, it augments the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita — one might even say that it functions as a cap on the Gita tradition, with culminating knowledge and esoteric nuance not found in other wisdom texts.
As Srila Prabhupada writes: “Undoubtedly, the Bhagavad Gita was spoken by the Lord on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra just to encourage Arjuna to fight, and yet to complete the transcendental knowledge of Bhagavad Gita, the Lord instructed Uddhava. The Lord wanted Uddhava to fulfil His mission and disseminate knowledge that He had not spoken even in the Bhagavad Gita.”
