Its English title simply translates to “meditation on the Gita,” and it is also known as the “Invocation to the Gita.” The nine Gita Dhyanam verses salute many ancient scriptures, Gods, and other entities, describe Gita’s relationship to the Upanishads and proclaim the power of divine help. The Gita Dhyanam, also known as the Gita Dhyana or Dhyana shlokas related to the Bhagavad Gita, it is a 9-verse Sanskrit poetry frequently associated with the Bhagavad Gita, one of Hinduism’s most fundamental scriptures. Some say they were written by Madhusudana Saraswati while others attribute it to Shridhara Swami. The Dhyana Shlokas exalt the Divine virtues. By doing Gita Dhyanam, one pays homage to the Divine that brought us this wisdom. The study of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita begins with the recital of the Gita Dhyana Shlokas.
