Mahabharata Converts Bhagavad Gita Into a Spriti

Mahabharata gives us the background of human society. If you don't find the situation Mahabharata, it does not exist. So, there is nothing really much to talk about how we get to the point where the war was about to begin. Bhagavan Shankarajarya in his Gita Bhajsai doesn't want to discuss chapter 1 until verse 11 of chapter 2. But for us common folks, context is very important.
