"Author Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, popularly known as ""Rajaji"" or ""C.R"" was a great patriot, astute politician, incisive thinker, great visionary and one of the greatest statesmen of all time. He was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, hailed as conscious- keeper of the Mahatma. As an ardent freedom-fighter, as Chief Minister of Madras, as Governor of West Bengal, as Home Minister of India and as the first Indian Governor-General of India he rendered yeoman service to the nation and left an indelible impress on our contemporary life. Rajaji was closely associated with Kulapati Munshiji and he was among the distinguished founder-members of the Bhavan. The Bhavan had the privilege of publishing 18 books (see page ii) by him so far, the copyright of which he gifted to the Bhavan. All of Rajaji's works, especially of Marcus Aurelius, the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads are popular. In Ramayana and Mahabharata, he has displayed his inimitable flair for story-telling and applying the moral of stories to the needs of modern times. Rajaji wrote not only in English but also in chaste Tamil, his mother-tongue. He was at his best as a short-story writer. The Bhagavad Gita is one of the greatest scriptures expounding the creed, discipline and ideals of Hinduism. And no better exponent of the ideas contained in it can be found than Rajaji who was indisputably one of the greatest of Indian and who has dared to live strictly according to the precepts of that manual of correct living in the face of the challenges of a rife-torn political and public life. Rajaji passed away in 1972 at the age of 94.

Uses the beauty of verse to express the highest truths of Vedanta. Includes an introduction to the Gita, and a study of non-violence versus the need to fight a just war. The critics have singled out this translation: The book is self-contained. A complete stranger to the Hindu Gospel can pick it up and in one or two evenings follow the poem from its terrific beginnings to its sublime end. -- New York Times

This student textbook provides a detailed commentary on the important Hindu scripture of the Bhagavad Gita, which is a dialogue between Arjuna the man and Krishna the God. Major Hindu concepts are examined in depth, and the background to the Gita is presented in a comprehensive introduction. Yoga is the key feature of the Gita, but it has its own interpretation of what that yoga should be. Thus, yoga features not only in each of the pathways of knowledge, desireless action, and devotion, but also in the way in which the divine is understood. The chapters of the Bhagavad Gita therefore describe Arjuna's despondency, followed by: The Yoga of Sankhya * Action * Knowledge * Renunciation * Meditation * Knowledge and Realization * The Imperishable Brahman * Royal Knowledge and Royal Mystery * Manifestation * The Vision of the Universal Form * Devotion * The Differentiation of the Kshetra and Kshetrajna * The Differentiation of the Three Gunas * The Supreme Purusha * The Differentiation of the Divine and the Demonic * The Differentiation of the Threefold Shraddha * The Yoga of Liberation and Renunciation. This book also contains detailed notes to the Gita chapters, a Further Reading section, a combined Glossary and Index of Sanskrit terms, and an Index of English words.

As a philosophical treatise and a religious canon, Bhagavad-Gita stood the test of time. With the prevalence of literacy, many hundreds of published and unpublished translations and commentaries abound. People find solace in the philosophy of Gita and existential security in the promises given by Sri Krishna. Gita was abused and is still subjected to harassment by philosophers and preachers who find it necessary to use it to support their doctrines and claims.This translation shows what Sri Krishna explained to Arjuna in terms of their cultural situation. At least in so far as the Mahabharata described.This translation stands apart from others by its lack of exploitation of the Gita for missionary or philosophical purposes. Once you begin reading this, you may be reluctant to put it down. This really can put you in touch with Lord Krishna and with Arjuna, the initially discouraged but later courageous and enlightened warrior.

“A true translation whose literary qualities make it stand out from the rest.” –Daniel Gold, Cornell University “Here’s a chance to rediscover The Bhagavad Gita in a translation that blends true scholarship with artistry.” –Library JournalThe Bhagavad Gita, the “Song of the Lord,” is an ancient Hindu scripture about virtue presented as a dialogue between Krishna, an incarnation of God, and the warrior Arjuna on the eve of a great battle over succession to the throne.

The result is a living text that remains true to the extraordinarily influential original. A devotional, literary, and philosophical work of unsurpassed beauty and relevance, The Bhagavad Gita has inspired, among others, Mahatma Gandhi, J. Robert Oppenheimer, T. S.
