He met Sri Satyadhyana Tirtha and presented his book. Satyadhyana Tirtha told him that the philosophy of dedication to the God is the massage of the Geetha. On a request by a large number of disciples Satyadhyana Tirtha elaborated this message in his lectures. Obtain the knowledge by humility inquisitiveness and application of the mind. Its entire philosophy explained here is highly critical and the answers are deeply convincing. All the important statements of Geetha are explained by the very verses of Geetha. The delusion is removed and the truth is recollected. The visvarupa of Geetha message is revealed.
