Answer 1

Hint:We will discuss Shrimad Bhagvad Gita with reference to Mahatma Gandhi.It was a major source of inspiration for many leaders during the Independence movement including Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Mahatma Gandhi and is often referred to as a spiritual dictionary.

Complete answer:
 Gandhi's reason for calling Gita his eternal mother like our proverbial mother provided conditional love and support and lifted his spirit and led him kindly to light. It showed him the way from darkness to light, eternal truth and eternal breath. Therefore he referred to it as his mother. Gita became his practical ethical guide for living. He turned to her to strengthen solace. He had to believe that real mother could feel sometimes but not spiritual mother he had lost his mother early who gave her birth but he has got her spiritual mother who has completely failed her to be by her side and ever since she has not changed Gandhiji referred the death not his bible or quran rather his eternal mother he said that it is out of all books he had read and founded the greatest consolidation from two books Gita and Ramayana

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note:It is often confused with Shrimad Bhagavatam, which is the purana which deals with the life of Hindu God Krishna and various Avatar of lord vishnu. He has the shame of not reading divine poems either in Sanskrit or Gujarati. He was determined to turn his shame to a strong incentive to read and study Gita as Christian Bible and Islamic Quran.
