So some person said that there is a Gaṇeśa-gītā. Similarly, there are different demigods. They speak their gītā. And they also say...</p>
<p>Acyutānanda: Universal form.</p>
<p>Mahāmṣa: They show the universal form or they say that they are paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma ([[Vanisource:BG 10.12-13 (1972)|BG 10.12]]). They say the same things in their gitas.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all right. Let them do that. We take Bhagavad-gītā. That's all. Śaṅkarācārya also—bhagavad-gītā kiñcid adhītā. If Bhagavad-gītā is understood a little only, he becomes liberated.</p>
<p>Acyutānanda: Then why should it be called the Bhagavad-gītā and not the Kṛṣṇa-gītā. Kṛṣṇa is referred to as Bhagavān.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Huh? Bhagavad-gītā, not Bhāgavata-gita.</p>

<p>Acyutānanda: But these other Gītās are named after the demigod.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all right. He can be called bhagavān. He is not ordinary man. He can be called. But the real Bhaga.... Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam. That is the.... The real Bhagavān is here, but these demigods, they have got little opulences, not equal to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore they are sometimes called Bhagavān.</p>

<p>Mahāmṣa: But do they have the potency to show the universal form?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Who?</p>
<p>Mahāmṣa: These demigods?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. What is that universal form? It is nothing. Any powerful living being can do that.</p>
