Book Description

About The Book

Faced with a fratricidal war, a despondent Arjuna turns to his charioteer Krishna for counsel on the battlefield. Krishna, through the course of the Gita, imparts to Arjuna wisdom, the path to devotion, and the doctrine of selfless action. The Gita upholds the essence and the theological tradition of the Upanishads. The Bhagavad Gita also integrates dualism and theism.

Introduction

Misconceptions about the Text.

The Bhagavad-Gita is an immortal treatise on the fundamentals of the Hindu philosophy and a most valuable and sacred book, of which every Indian should be proud of. Unfortunately, large number of people, who might have not even read it once carry several misconceptions about it or mislead others into such misconceptions. Some people for instance, especially some alien theologians in order to malign the supremacy of the work, have branded it as a "Killer-philosophy" and several lukewarm readers of the Hindus also are at a loss to understand the logic behind Lord Krishna's advice to Arjuna to fight. Some people get nervous at the very mention of 'Gita', as they think it will make men run away from their families or society and take to asceticism. Some more people hold the view that time is not yet ripe for them to take to the study of the Gita, as they think that it is meant for old, decrepit men who have become tired out in life or career, family or society. Some others feel that it can be understood, only by scholars and that it is above the reach of men of ordinary intelligence or education. Some people believe that the whole work is sacred only in theory and that it cannot ever have any practical basis. It, therefore, becomes the utmost duty of every ardent student of the Gita, not only to clear himself of such misconceptions, if at all any, in his own mind, but also convince others about the fallacy of any such misconceptions.
