The purpose of Bhagavad gita is to deliver mankind from the nescience of material existence .Every man is in difficulity in so many ways ,as Arjuna also was in difficulty in having to fight the Battle of Kuruksetra. Arjuana surrendered unto sri KRSNA, and consequently this Bhagavad-gita was spoken.Not only Arjuana, but every one of us is full of anxieties because of this material existence.Therefore those who begin to question why they are suffering or where they come from and where they shall go after death are proper students for understanding Bhagavad-gita.The sincere student should also have a firm respect for the Supreme personality of Godhead. such a student was Arjuna.
Lord KRSNA descends specifically to reestablish the real purpose of life when man forgets that purpose.even then, out of many,many human beings who awaken,there may be one who actually enters the spirit of understanding his position ,and for him this Bhagavad-gita is spoken.Actually we are all swallowed by the tigress of nescience, but the LORD is very merciful upon living entities ,especially human beings.To this end He spoke the Bhagavad-gita, making His friend Arjuna His student.
Meaning: I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectfull obeisances unto him.
when will Srila Rupa Gosvami Prabhipada ,who establish within this material world the mission to fullfill the desire of lord Caitanya,give me shelter under his lotus feet?

"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon,I turn to Bhagavad -gita and a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow.Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day"

What Does Hare Krsna Means
"Hare Krishna" refers to the Sanskrit prayer we sing (the maha-mantra, or "great chant for deliverance").
Since God is unlimited, He has unlimited names, with different purposes and meanings. The purpose of the Hare Krishna prayer is to awaken us to our eternal nature as servants of
The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of three Sanskrit words:
Krsna and Rama are both names for God.
We can approach the all-attractive Supreme Lord, and experience the supreme pleasure of His company, through the help of His devotional or pleasure energy, Hare. Placed together the words of the prayer mean "O Lord, O energy of the Lord, please engage me in Your loving service." By chanting Hare Krishna we become purified of material conditioning and become reinstated in our normal eternal position.
Stories
1. Krishna Kripa
Once there was a king and he had a wise minister. Whenever the king used to describe different accomplishments to the minister - the minister would say "It is Krishna Kripa"
Once the king went for a battle and conquered the neighbouring kingdom. The minister said "It is Krishna Kripa"
Another time the king was examining and testing the weapons. While doing so one of his fingers got cut. The king was narrating the incident to the minister and the minister as usual said "It is Krishna Kripa"
The king got wild and very angry. He yelled at the minister "What are you saying - my finger is cut and you are saying that is Krishna Kripa. I will put you in the prision". He ordered the soldiers to put the minister in the prison. While going to prision - the minister was saying "This is also Krishna kripa".
One day the king went on hunting and as the night was approaching he got separated from the rest of the soldiers.He was alone deep inside the forest. All of a sudden he heard some noises of drum and a group of tribal people coming at a distance. They were in search of something. Actually the tribal people were about to begin a sacrifice and they were looking for a bali (human to sacrifice). When the they located the king who was strong and hefty - they thought the king will be a good candidate for the bali and caught him - so that they can offer him as a sacrifice. The king could not do anything - since he was outside of his kingdom and there is no one to help him. He was worrying about his
misfortune that he has to die in the hands of tribal people.
The tribal people gave a ceremonial bath to him and brought before the leader of the tribe. The leader examined the king (who is to be given as bali) and noticed that there is one finger short in one hand. The leader considered the bali very inauspicious & incomplete - because it is not full and he chastised his people for bringing incomplete bali. They let the king go.
At that time the king could realize that how is life was saved - just because his finger was cut. He immediately remembered his wise minister who told that cutting of the finger is also "Krishna Kripa". The king thought "At that time, I did not realize how loosing of the finger can be Krishna Kripa - now I could practically understand - it is because of Krishna Kripa the finger was cut and my life has been saved"
He returned to the palace as quickly as possible and went to the prison where the minister is put in. He explained everything to minister and asked for his forgiveness. The king asked the minister "You said the right thing but still I put you in prison - but when you are going to prision - you said that is also Krisha kripa - I do not understand, how that is krishna Kripa" The minister replied "My dear King - if you did not put me in prision - then I would have accompanied you - and the tribal people would have got hold of me and offered me as a bali - so putting me in the prision is also Krishna Kripa"

2. Rich Merchant and Four Wives
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
b. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
