The Gita aims at producing a type of character which is the loftiest that the Hindu imagination has ever conceived. The Gita projects the ideal person (yogin) as one who is both a man of contemplation and a man of action. He is "a practical mysitc whose head is in solitude, but whose hands are in society. His action proceeds out of his contemplation, and his contemplation is rooted in his love for God". Since the Gita's relevance to the problems of human life and its universal approach have made it a much translated and admired book but the new youth of the this modern India is somewhere still untouched by the positive affirmation of it that it can bring in their lives. The present Indian certainly needs such a youth that is inspired by the relevance and authenticity of the Gita. The Bhagwad Gita has already inspired the thoughts and works of great men of modern times such as Swami Vivekananda, Madana Mohana Malavia, Lokmanya Tilak, Gandhiji, Tagore, Aravind, Vinobha Bhave and others. And there still the need for more awakening and enlightenment in the "Young India" regarding the adoption of Gita in the lives of the people. Gandhiji gave to the Gita the status of the mother. He also once wrote that ; "When doubts haunts me, when disappointment stare me in the face and I see not one ray of hope on horizon, I turn to Bhagwad Gita and find a verse to comfort me and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow".
