“When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.” He also mentioned: I have made the Bhagavad-gita as the main source of my inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of my theories.” – Albert Einstein. (Physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics)

“When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.” – Mahatma Gandhi
“The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in bygone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states…” behold we are not an earthly but a heavenly plant.” – Carl Jung ( Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology.)
“In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seems puny and trivial.” – Henry David Thoreau (American essayist, poet, and philosopher)
