Perhaps like many people, I have never taken the time (until recently) to read through the sacred verses of the Bhagavad GIta . I highly recommend this to everyone. As a buddhist who loves vedic culture and bhakti yoga, I can now say that I finally "get' the profound nature of the Gita.
Once you understand the profound insight and perspective of Krishna ... it is very helpful in understanding the methodolgy of the Buddha. Sakayamuni gave us the dharma , the way .. but I feel Krishna ,gives us the perspective of Buddhahood ..... of God-consciousness.
I highly recommend the audiobook which Deepak Chopra recorded from the Bhagavad Gita, the music and the translation is quite wonderful.
Once you begin to get a true sense of what the nature of the conversation between Arjuna and Krishna , ... you will truly say "Hare Krishna".
