Among the world's scriptures, The Bhagavad Gîtâ is one of the most popular texts. Its popularity is demonstrated by the fact that, next to the Bible, it is perhaps the most widely translated of scriptural texts. This scripture is suited for the entire man- kind, irrespective of a person's religious or ethnic background.
The Gîtâ is considered as the Revelation given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, in the battle field to help him resolve his mental conflict and was put in the present form by sage Vyâsa. In India, ever since the great Shankarâ wrote his commentary on it, many eminent scholars of the vedanta philosophy have given their interpretations of this exemplary text.

It is not the ancient Indian thinkers alone, but many leaders of modern times had also taken it as a text for expounding their noblest thoughts. Many books such as Tilak's Gîtâ Rahasya, Aurobindo's Essays on Gîtâ and Mahatma Gandhi's Anâsakti Yoga show the continued preference and admiration for Gîtâ over centuries.

The tremendous appeal of The Gîtâ is because it deals with practical problems of Life, and contains lessons that we can follow to resolve our day to day conflicts. This could be the reason why there are so many links to the Bhagavad Gîtâ that are available in the internet also.
