00:00If you count the number of freedom fighters who took the Gita as their inspiration,
00:06you would run short of count.
00:09There are just so many.

00:12Even if you talk of a Bhagat Singh, he was an avid reader.
00:16And was he not placing the Gita in high esteem?
00:20He was.
00:20Even as he declared himself an atheist,
00:23what he meant to denounce was the gods that the commons worshipped.
00:26He had an unflinching faith in the truth.
00:30And Gita is not about God worship.
00:32Gita is about submitting yourself to the truth.
00:35Fighting for the truth alone.
00:37Even if it means fighting against everybody you have been related to in your life.
