>Therefore Bhagavad-gītā should be taken up in a spirit of devotion. One should not think that he is equal to Kṛṣṇa, nor should he think that Kṛṣṇa is an ordinary personality or even a very great personality. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, at least theoretically, according to the statements of Bhagavad-gītā or the statements of Arjuna, the person who is trying to understand the Bhagavad-gītā. We should therefore at least theoretically accept Śrī Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and with that submissive spirit we can understand the Bhagavad-gītā. Unless one reads the Bhagavad-gītā in a submissive spirit, it is very difficult to understand Bhagavad-gītā because it is a great mystery.

“If you can’t hunt you got no business eating meat.” “If you can’t slaughter a cow in your kitchen you have no business eating beef.”
As a NatSoc to the right of Hitler, I couldn't recommend the bhagavad gita any more highly to those of you seeking to understand the roots of Aryan/Indo-European culture, traditions, religion. These were literally amongst our very first works... and the BG in particular resonates more deeply with me than virtually anything else I've ever read. Also, keep in mind the authors were 'whiter' than Brad Pitt.
Some quotes from the Indian Rigveda, the oldest Indo-European text. Indra is the chief God of the Aryans.
>"At the swift draught the Soma-drinker waxed in might, the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair. He, Lord of Tawny Coursers, Lord of fleet-foot Mares, will bear his Bay Steeds safely over all distress." Indra - 10.96.8 >"Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard." Indra - 10.23.4 >"The swarthy skin, the hated of Indra" - Rigveda IX 73.5 >The Rig Veda praises the God who "destroyed the Dasyans and protected the Aryan colour." - Rigveda. III 34.9
