‘Shrimad Bhagwad Gita’ is an invaluable gift given by the land of Bharat to the mankind in the entire world. Bhagwad Gita alone is the scripture which is called ‘the gem of all the scriptures’. It is such an extraordinary creation, which alone has received the honour of ‘[being] spoken by God (Bhagwanuvaac). It has been created by Maharshi Vedvyas. It is mentioned in the 75th shloka (verse) of the 18th chapter of the Gita, “vyaasaprasaadaat”, it means, we have received this knowledge of the Gita through the happiness of Vyas. This scripture isn’t just the means of religious preaching like the other scriptures; rather, along with adhyaatma , the solution to political, social and personal problems is also hidden in it. Arjuna, who is the great hero of the Mahabharata war, became afraid of the problems on the battlefield and was disappointed with [his] life and the Kshatriya (warrior) religion. Similarly, like Arjuna, we all are entangled in the problems of life to a greater or a lesser extent (numbervaar), because this life is also a battlefield. This is why today, a common man is confused when he finds himself entangled in the problems of his life. It means, he becomes foolish just with respect to what he should do [and] what he shouldn’t do, and instead of fighting with the problems of life, he starts running away from them. But running away from the problems isn’t the solution to [those] problems. In order to solve those very problems, God is giving the knowledge of the Gita now, at present through Arjuna, purely for the mankind of the entire world. Regarding that knowledge of the Gita, it is considered that God Shri Krishna gave this knowledge of the Gita at the end of the Copper Age. But there is not a single shloka in the Gita wherein it has been mentioned that the knowledge of the Gita was given in the Copper Age. Instead in the 66th shloka of the 18th chapter of the Gita it has been said,
“Sarvadharmaan parityajya maamekam sharanam vraja”. It means, renounce all the sects, communities etc., the bodily ostentatious religions and come under the shelter of Me, Shiva-Shankar, the one with the incorporeal stage. If you observe, [you will see that] all the religions were certainly not present in the Copper Age, [but] now, at present, there are many religions, sects and communities.
“Yadaa yadaa hi dharmasya glaanirbhavati bhaarat”. (Gita ch.4, shloka 7) It means, when there is defamation of the religion [and] rise of irreligiousness, I come. Defamation of the religion means, people call God who is present in one being (ekvyaapi) to be omnipresent (sarvavyaapi). According to the Jain and Vedic process [of creation], the religion is defamed at the end of the Iron Age itself because many religions are established till the end of the Iron Age and everyone becomes tamopradhaan.
“Sarvabhuutaani sammoham sarge yaanti parantap”. (Gita ch.7, shloka 27) It means, all the living beings attain complete foolishness at the end of the kalpa  or at the end of the four ages.
“Jagadviparivartate” (Gita ch.9, shloka 10) It means, only under My supervision this world moves in an opposite direction, meaning from the end of the Iron Age it transforms into the Golden Age, the world above. Had God Shri Krishna come in the Copper [Age] and given the knowledge of the Gita, there should have been a transformation of the world but the world didn’t transform; human beings became all the more irreligious, lustful, imposters, proud, wrathful, egotistic, the ones who behave like animals, and [the world] became the sinful Iron Age devoid of celestial degrees.
