Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Preface and Introduction

The Bhagavad-gītā explains the general principle that makes it possible to enter the spiritual kingdom simply by thinking of the Supreme at the time of death.

BG Introduction: The Bhagavad-gītā (8.6) also explains the general principle that makes it possible to enter the spiritual kingdom simply by thinking of the Supreme at the time of death:

yaṁ yaṁ vāpi smaran bhāvaṁ

tyajaty ante kalevaram

taṁ tam evaiti kaunteya

sadā tad-bhāva-bhāvitaḥ
