The moment mankind succeeded in assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in 700 shlokas verses of Bhagavad Gita... one finally reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya)... and finally salvation (moksha)!

Shrilasri PrabuPaadhaa's commentary is also very great.

Vaishnavism was the founding religion in India, more than 5,000 years ago. It gave birth to the likes of Sikhism, Shaivism, Hinduism, etc. In the 1960s, the Beatles had everything: name, fame, and wealth. However, they were in search of something more, something that was missing from their lives. Yes, they had gone to India, but when they had gone back to England, they were able to meet Vaishnav devotees. These devotees then introduced the Beatles to His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON. The Beatles were so fortunate to meet such a pure soul, however, one of them was fully enthralled by Srila Prabhupada and his teachings and that was George Harrison. Paul McCartney, too, found much truth to Srila Prabhupada's teachings and he became a vegan, and is still even to this day. Srila Prabhupada was the first to translate the Bhagavad Gita into English, as he did to many other spiritual books, like the Srimad Bhagavatam. So enraptured was George Harrison in the Krishna Conscious movement that he and the Beatles wrote songs about it. George wrote his hit song "My Sweet Lord" in which he chants the maha-mantra and Sanskrit slokas. He learned the key elements from the Bhagavad Gita As It Is from Srila Prabhupada and his disciples. He chanted the holy names of the Lord and sang and danced in ecstasy. He, out of the Beatles, found that missing piece to his life, and even introduced it to his son, Dhani, and first wife. This is how the Beatles know the Bhagavad Gita and its key teachings, and they too wished to spread it the only way they knew how, through song.

To mention a few; Vivekananda, Ramkrishn Pramhansa, Ravindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi,Goutam Budha, Mahavir etc. But the most important matter is to manifest all the ideals in our contempory life rather than reviewing the history of our ancient treasure. The moment we manifest those ideals in our life we transform not only ourself but also lay a foundation stone for the incomming generation and bring the human soul to spritual horizon which gives the real meaning of human life and destiny.
