    The document provides a preface to the Srimad Bhagavad Gita As It Is. It discusses that the Krishna Consciousness movement teaches the genuine and authorized message of Bhagavad Gita based on disciplic succession from Lord Krishna. It warns that commentaries on Bhagavad Gita from those without knowledge of Krishna try to diminish or kill Krishna, which spoils the understanding. The purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to guide conditioned souls back to Krishna, and interpreting it without reference to Krishna's will defeats this whole purpose. One must understand Krishna as directly understood by Arjuna to fulfill the mission of life.
