Lord Krishna gave Srimad Bhagwad Gita only to Arjuna and the entire world was in "suspended animation" at that time.

Only exceptions were Sanjaya and through him Dhritarashtra. 1/n
The Bhagavad Gita portions are in fact a live running commentary by Sanjaya to Dhritarashtra. The author Sri Vyasa in Mahabharata gives Bhagavad Gita to us through Sanjaya only.
One (Arjuna) listened Srimad Bhagavad Gita directly in front of Lord Krishna. One with divine vision (and ear, both given by Vedav Vyasa) at the Hastinapura palace also listened (Sanjaya). One more heard the running voice commentary through Sanjaya (the king Dhritarashtra).
Sage Vyasa (who knows the past, present and future) became the author of Mahabharata (Vyasa Bharata) by remembering everything later!

One more fact, Arjuna Forgot the Gita later, who wanted to hear again but the request was rejected by Lord Krishna! (MB14: Aswamedha , C-16)
Bhagwaan Krishna felt sad on this forgotten aspect. But instead Bhagwaan Krishna gave one Anugita.

It is known as AnugGita Parva.

What is Hell?

यमलोक सब ओर से छियासी हज़ार योजन विस्तृत है । वहां नाना प्रकार के भयानक रूपधारण करने वाले यमदूत रहते हैं और उन्हीं के कारण वह पूरी बड़ी भयङ्कर प्रतीत होती है दुष्टात्मा, क्रूर एवं पापी पुरुषों के लिए यमपुरी दूर होने पर भी निकट सी ही प्रतीत होती है । Image
वे तीखे काँटों से युक्त, कंकड़ पत्थरों से विभूषित, छुरे की धारों से आच्छादित और तीक्ष्ण पत्थरों से निर्मित मार्ग से यात्रा करते हैं ।

निकृष्ट मार्ग से यमराज के नगर में गए हुए पापी जीव आज्ञा मिलने पर दूतों द्वारा यमराज के सम्मुख पहुंचाए जाते हैं । Image
वहां चित्रगुप्त उन पापियों को धर्मोपदेश करते हुए उनके पापों का स्मरण करते हैं । तब उन्हें पाप से शुद्ध करने के लिए यमदूत नरक के समुद्र में डाल देते हैं ।

नरकों की अट्ठाइस श्रेणियां हैं, जो सातवें पाताल के अन्त घोर अन्धकार के भीतर स्थित है - Image

Morning Satsang : Vanquishing Pride is True Sacrifice

Can we describe the colour of water? God is, likewise, indescribable. His appearance is like what you imagine Him. We see Him according to the magnitudes and proportions of our various passions.
The more mitigated one’s passions, the nearer one is to the true perception of Him. It is unwise to ask how a single Rama can be perceptible to many at the same time, for He is omnipresent, subtly inherent in all creation.
The Ultimate Reality is neither born nor dies; it exists everywhere, timelessly. Why, then, some may ask, celebrate His birthday? It is like this: some children were rollicking in the hall of the house, unaware that grandpa was at home and in the adjoining room;.....

What is the meaning or importance of snakes in Hinduism?

Snakes are very important in Hinduism. There are many reasons for this; snakes shed their skin, and grow it back later. This represents "rebirth", while also representing death and mortality. 1/n
Not just that - snakes cannot be tamed; hence, they represent freedom. Another reason is given :

All nagas are considered the offspring of the Rishi or sage, Kasyapa, the son of Marichi....
...Kashyapa is said to have had by his twelve wives, other diverse progeny including reptiles, birds, and all sorts of living beings.

They are denizens of the netherworld city called Bhogavati. It is believed that ant-hills mark its entrance.

A Positive View - Why women don't perform Pujas or visit Temples During Menstruation

Our body has enormous energy flows in the systems. In a human body two vital energies flows in various motions for processes inside the body.
These vayus are

Prana Vayu - upward flowing-
operates from the heart area - vitalizing life forces

Vyana Vayu - operates throughout the whole body - coordinating energy throughout the systems
Samana Vayu - operates from the navel area, deals with digestion - mental discrimination between useful and not useful thoughts

Every person in Hindu community is linked to Kuldevi and Kuldev. Everyone in Hinduism have a Kuldevi and Kuldev.

So What is purpose of it?

Lets discuss that in the thread below. 1/n
If you are able to trace back your Poorvaj(Ancestor), you will come to know that at one point of time they originated from any Rishi who himself originated from any Devta.

In this way the Devta with whom your DNA matches, is your Kuldevta.
In case you don't know Kuldevta/Kuldevi, you can simply worship them with below mantras:

|| ॐ श्री कुलदेवताभ्यो नमः ||

|| ॐ श्री कुलदेव्यै नमः ||
