Due to an increasing disgust with the dogmas and abuses of sectarian religion, there is now a strong rising interest in spirituality, a non-sectarian approach to spiritual awakening. People are seeking spiritual enlightenment outside of the constraints of sectarian religious organizations. They want to get the pure essence of religion, to have their own personal experience of God. They see that sectarian religion has fomented ignorance, disunity, hate, and cruelty, and they want out. They are now turning away from sectarianism in ever-increasing numbers seeking spiritual enlightenment in a universal, non-sectarian concept of spiritual unity far removed from the sentimentalism and fanaticism of sectarian religion.
The Bhagavad-gita is the perfect book for them. It very wisely teaches the perfection of spirituality by advising the spiritual seeker to eschew all sectarian conceptions of religion and come to perfectional platform of perfect harmony with the Supreme Being through complete surrender unto His will. The beauty of the Gita's teachings is that can one apply them from any walk of life. Whether one is a Christian, a Muslim, a Sikh, a Hindu, a Jew, or a non-designated spiritual seeker, he can remain in his present position and become spiritually perfect by adopting the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita as the guiding principles in his life.
