Bhagavad Gita was Swami Vivekananda´s lifelong companion. In 1888, Vivekananda began his journey as a wandering monk. Between 1888 to 1893, he travelled to many Indian states and went to almost all parts of the country. In that period, he had almost nothing with him, other than a kamandalu and two books - a copy of Imitation of the Christ and the second book was Bhagavad Gita. In this article, we´ll make a collection of Swami Vivekananda´s quotes, comments and opinions on Bhagavad Gita. Ramakrishna´s teaching - Gita teaches to become unselfish and tyagi Ramakrishna, the master of Swami Vivekananda, used to say that one could understand the essential meaning of Gita by repeating the word several times "Gita, Gita Gita Gita...", and when it is done, one finds (her/him)self uttering "ta-Gi ta-Gi ta-Gi...". The word "tag/tyag" (Bengali: , " " ) means "renounce" or "one who renounces everything for God." Ramakrishna told, Gita teaches us to become unselfish and tyagi. Swami vivekananda´s quotes and comments on Bhagavad Gita Ay, if there is anything in the Gita that I like, it is these two verses, coming out strong as the very gist, the very essence, of Krishna´s teaching
