Why Krishna chose Arjuna to preach Bhagavad Gita again?

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhakthivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Founder Acharya, International Society for Krishna Consciousness, explains the words of Krishna in BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS (C-4, T-3):

sa evayam maya te 'dya
yogah proktah puratanah
bhakto 'si me sakha ceti
rahasyam hy etad uttamam

TRANSLATION

That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this
science.

PURPORT

There are two classes of men, namely the devotee and the demon. The Lord selected Arjuna as the recipient of this great science owing to his being a devotee of the Lord, but for the demon it is not possible to understand this great mysterious science. There are a number of editions of this great book of knowledge, and some of them have commentaries by the devotees and some of them have commentaries by the demons. Commentation by the devotees is real, whereas that of the demon is useless. Arjuna accepts Sri Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and any commentary on the Gita following in the footsteps of Arjuna is real devotional service to the cause of this great science.

The demonic, however, concoct something about Krsna and mislead the public and the general readers from the path of Krsna's instructions. One should try to follow the disciplic succession from Arjuna, and thus be benefited.

I have chosen a devotee boy to marry.  My family is seeing some other boy.  What to do?

COUNSELLING:

A girl devotee who requested anonimity asked like this:

“Hare krishna prabhu ji, pls its my humble request thant dnt disclose my name.  thank u n your answers are too practical and nice so i also want a answer of 1 question.

My question is that i want to marry a boy because he is also a devotee and 2nd is also of my society but the problm is that my family is searching a guy for me and in my family no one trying 4 devotion. That boy cant tell to his parent at present because he hav some career related an some faimly problm frm 2 month i am too tensed for this... Pls suggest me prabhu what should i do?   Thank u.   hare krishna”

REPLY:

Unless you throw the stone on the tree, you can not get fruit.  You have not yet thrown stone to your parents.  Then, how can you get a solution?

So, you must convey about your choice to your parents and his parents politely stating the credits you and he have.  Explain why you will be happy if you marry a devotee.  That boy should also have an initiative to meet your parents and explain.   So, do this by choosing a right time in which your and his parents are in good mood.

If that boy is jobless, first ask him to go for a good job.  I always advise the youth to start earning well before marriage.  Love comes even in your teen age.  But, the youth should not marry without any earning by the boy.  Because, without money, you can not run even a single day life.  

If that boy meets your parents without any job, they may not agree. So, first let him settle in a good job.  Then, there are chances for success in your discussion.  Every parent will like to give their daughter to a boy who has good earning as they should not face strains in relations.  

So, meet your parents after he gets a good job.  Request your parents to postpone your marriage arrangements for one year. Also tell that boy to settle in a good job within a year.  
Both of you may get the help of an influential relative and request him/ her to discuss with your parents on your behalf.  

If the boy explains that he will take care of the family life with you  in a responsible manner, your parents may agree for the marriage, as there is no barrier of caste. 

You can also contact your temple president of the ISKCON temple with which you are affiliated and bring your parents to him and discuss about the benefits of marrying a devotee.

A talented sales man can market even an ordinary  stone, if he is able to explain well.  Similarly, if that boy explains about himself well, he can market himself in front of your parents.

Try.  Also pray to Krishna to give you a devotee husband like that boy.  Assure Krishna that you will dedicate your life after marriage for His service.  If you pray like this selflessly, Krishna will approve your prayer.  

All the best.
