Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Lord Krishna, Supreme Personality of Godhead. No intermediate apostle, prophet, saint, messiah involved. All verses - direct word of God. Jesus went to India between ages 13 and 30 to learn Krishna-neeti (Christianity) from sages. Christ means Krishna. Buddha attained Nirvana and preached compassion and non-violence. Muhammad was a worshipper of the Shiva Lingam idol in Kaaba. Adonai means Lord, Yahweh means The Existing One, Allah and Elohim mean an all-powerful deity from an existing religion.

Krishna appears on earth in a spiritual form visible to human eyes once in 8.6 billion years. (Vedanta)

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says, "They, who serve even other gods with a firm belief, in doing so, involuntarily worship Me. I am He who partaketh of all worship, and I am their reward." (Gita 7.22)

Krishna ~ I am the Father of all. (Gita 14.4)
Jesus ~ The Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

Krishna ~ For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me. (Gita 6.30)
Jesus ~ I and the Father are one. (John 10:30)

Krishna said to Arjuna,
I am all that is unmanifest and manifest. (Gita 9.19)
God said to Moses, I am that I am. (Exodus 3:14)
God is over all, through all & in all. (Ephesians 4:6)

The soul has neither birth nor death. (Gita 2:20)
Jesus said, Before Abraham was, I am. (John 8:58)

Who is God? To say that there is only one God is to reduce God to a single unit. God is a Unity, not a unit. There isn't only one God, God is One, i.e. a Unity inclusive of all things, manifest and unmanifest. God is everything, God is in everything, and everything is in God only. The whole of creation is the body (the manifestation) which cannot be separated from God Who is The Infinite Eternal Existence Bliss. God is the *cause of all causes* [Bhagavad-Gita.us].

Is God only impersonal and can't be personal?
A simple example - we can't see water vapor but the ocean indeed exists. Does a handful of ice have the same formula and potency of H2O in water vapor? Why can't an omnipotent God take a form at will?

Who is satan?
Satan isn't a bald guy in the woods. God is omnipresent which leaves no room for a competing satan. Satan is evil vices of the mind - lust, hatred, anger, greed, jealousy, revenge, murder, etc.

What is ego? The ego is like darkness, it has no positive existence. Just like darkness is simply the absence of light, the ego is absence of awareness. In just about a 100 years, 6.5 billion bodies of today will cease to exist. Is the true identity body or soul?

Why be vegetarian?
* Those sinful persons who are ignorant of actual religious principles, yet consider themselves to be completely pious, without compunction commit violence against innocent animals who are fully trusting in them. In their next lives, such sinful persons will be eaten by the same creatures they have killed in this world. (Bhagavatam 11.5.14)
* Food that is tasteless, decomposed, putrid, consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness. (Gita 17.10)
* The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion. (Mahaparinirvana Sutra)
* Thou shalt not kill. (Exodus 20:13)
* Jesus said, Blessed is the lion which the man shall eat, and the lion become man; and cursed is the man whom the lion shall eat, and the lion become man. (Gospel of Thomas 7)
* He who kills or eats the flesh of an animal is a murderer in God's court. A Muslim who consumes meat with no regard for the suffering of tortured creatures may be called by men as a Pir but is really a Kafir. (Saint Kabir)

I personally find concepts of Yoga, reincarnation, and moksha more enticing than the idea of getting bored in a bunker for thousands of years for a turn at salvation. Your mileage may vary!

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
—Dhammapada, 1.1-3

A Muslim martyr says, "You will die for what I believe". A Christian or Jewish martyr says, "I will die for what I believe". A Hindu or Buddhist says, "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye shall be born again". :)
