శ్రీమద్భగవద్గీతా పారాయణ - ధ్యానశ్లోకాః

These nine verses serve as the meditative invocation for the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. Traditionally attributed to the Vaishnava Tantrasara, they salute the supreme divine essence of Lord Krishna as the teacher of Arjuna. Reciting these verses before studying the Gita is considered essential for purifying the mind, inviting the grace of the Supreme Being, and ensuring a deeper understanding of the sacred dialogue. The practice helps devotees transition from worldly distractions to a state of spiritual receptivity, establishing a connection with the eternal wisdom imparted on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
