An exposition of Verse 66 of the Eighteenth Chapter, accompanied by a discussion on the Govindam Adi-purusham—the first Vaishnava mantra of creation. In this verse, Krishna emphatically declares, "Surrender unto Me; I shall liberate you from all sins." The explanation covers the meaning of sin and surrender, Krishna's assurance, the significance of liberation from sin, and the frequency with which Krishna makes this statement in the Gita. No other avatar has made such an explicit declaration. Krishna is complete—the Lord of Yoga—and He incarnated to establish Dharma. That is why He says: "Cast aside all perplexities; simply surrender unto Me. Do not worry."
Similarly, the first Vaishnava mantra of creation is—*Govindam-adi-purusham tam-aham bhajami*. This is recorded in the Brahma-samhita. Lord Brahma chanted this mantra, and as a result, he beheld Lord Maha-Vishnu. Here, it is explained why Govinda is referred to as the Adi-purusha (the Original Person) and why Brahma chanted this specific mantra.
