The Gita is the only religious scripture which is complete because it talks about all 3 ways : Bhakti, Karma & Gyana. Also it keeps room for other messengers of God. The Gita shows God Himself & us as well as evolving & not dogmatic. It potrays God as energy behind creation & dissolution & not a mere powerful person who could do miracles & impart philosophical & spiritual teachings.
The Gita clearly talks about self-realisation or "know thyself" & "soham" i.e. we are God Himself, which no other religious scripture has been able to explain. The Gita is the only one which is in harmony with all religions because it does not say Shri Krishna's worship is compulsory hence shows true tolerance & love to all other sects. The root of communism as well can be found in the Gita which can again be tracked back to the Vedas.
Hindu is a vague term. It means people who live in the banks of the river Sind. Gita has evolved from the Sanatan Dharma & Sanatan means the one which has been there always, no one knows its origin. Gita has been there always even before Lord Krishna spake it to Arjun. No body knows how many times He has given it to us. It is the eternal truth & hence is for all.
It seems that the good & logical teachings & philosophy of other religious scriptures have been hired from the Gita as the Gita is the oldest of them all, it is because the Gita is complete, true & fundamental & nothing is beyond it. So wherever we will find even glimpses of truth they will resemble the some or other verses from Gita.
Read the Gita & u will read the whole of creation & divinity, because it the essence of the Vedas - the word of God. Just make sure U don't read any 19th or early 20th century version written by some foriegn follower as they would have the bias of the then British rule. Read an Indian one or foriegn ones written after mid 20th century.
Om Namah Narayana
