Why Uddhava Gita is not famous like Bhagavat Gita ?

Uddhava-gita is practically the most important of all the gitas for it focuses on Lord Krsna's final instructions just before leaving the earthly planet. Moreover these instructions are delivered to Uddhava, recognized as the greatest among the devotees of the Lord, and foremost among those who are intimate with Him.

When Sri Krisna was on earth five thousand years ago, Uddhava was the Lord's cousin and his bodily features was exactly like that of the Lord. For this reason and others, it is mysterious that Uddhava-gita has never enjoyed the fame of its sister text, the Bhagavad-gita, with which it shares several verses in common. In several ways, Uddhava-gita goes further ways, Uddhava-gita goes further than the Bahgavadgita, illuminating the Bhagavadgita's central teaching of devotion to Sri. Krisna and emphasizing the importance of seeing Sri.Krisna everywhere, in everyone, and at all times.
