The Bhagavad-gītā (The Song of God) was spoken by Śrī Kļşņa to His disciple and friend Arjuna, over 5,000 years ago, just before the beginning of the epic Mahābhārata War. Since that time, seekers of sacred wisdom have turned to the Bhagavadgītā for answers to the most profound mysteries of life.

The material in this book was taken from lectures on the confidential meanings of the Bhagavad-gītā, given by one of the most prominent spiritual authorities of the modern era, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja. He is a fully realized spiritual master in the Gaudiya Vaisnava disciplic succession, extant since the time of Lord Krsna Himself. Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja has been teaching the ancient science of Krsna consciousness for over sixty years. In these talks, Śrīla Nārāyaṇa Mahārāja reveals truths of the Bhagavad-gītā that have been carefully maintained and handed down in an unbroken succession of self-realized spiritual teachers for the last 5,000 years.

The eminent 19th century saint and scholar, Śrīla Saccidānanda Bhaktivinoda Thākura has said in his explanation of the Gītā, “When the supremely compassionate Lord Śrī Krsna, whose vows are infallible, spoke Srimad Bhagavadgītā, He seemed to be directing His words at His friend Arjuna. Actually however, He manifested this scripture for the deliverance of the whole world. It is the very form of deep reflection on the essential meanings of all the Vedas, and it is the sole means of attaining the highest goal.”
