About the Book - The simplification of the selected 108 shlokas of the Bhagvad Gita is not a direct translation nor an in-depth analysis. With humility and respect my endeavor is just to offer the wisdom of the Gita in regular conversational language, especially for beginners in India and beyond. If you haven't read any of the scriptures and would like to know more about our ancient civilization and history, then this might be a good place to start, though there are some brilliant minds who have dedicated their lives for dharma and desh-sewa. An excellent body of work is produced by some great personalities such as Sanjay Dikshit, Nilesh Oak, Rajeev Malhotra, Ami Ganatra, Neeraj Atri, and countless others; towards whom I humbly offer my deepest and sincerest gratitude. In this particular compilation, there are only 108 shlokas, as recommended by the ISKCON* and are aligned to the Bhakti aspect. In totality there are 700 shlokas, logically structured into 18 chapters mostly focusing on Karma Yog, Gyan Yog and Bhakti Yog. The word 'yog' or 'yoga' doesn't have a single meaning. In the context of Gita it means the 'path' undertaken to be united with a specific goal. The Gita starts with Arjuna's anguish just before the battle of Kurukshetra is about to begin and seeks guidance from his trusted friend and Guru, Shri Krishna. To even attempt to list down the great learnings in this sacred text, would not be possible in a single lifetime, still, this document would provide you a base to explore deeper and wider into this ocean of precious knowledge. Please also note at this stage, you could find some concepts repetitious or contradictory. Hence, you might eventually need a trusted Guru. All depends on the intensity of your desire to know more. Gita is the song of Bhagwan Himself and the essence of the Vedas. If you are reading this, probably its Krishna's will and you can consider yourself fortunate that the Gita has chosen to come to you, in whatever form. Please continue on this beautiful journey that shall open up your hearts and minds to some enchanting places in the universe. I am writing from personal experiences that all we need is devotion and He shall take care of everything. Radhey Radhey

The life and times of India's most famous spiritual and literary masterpiece The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most famous of all Indian scriptures, is universally regarded as one of the world's spiritual and literary masterpieces. Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than seventy-five languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, who counsels him on why he must. In the dialogue that follows, Arjuna comes to realize that the true battle is for his own soul. Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today. An essential biography of a timeless masterpiece, this book is an ideal introduction to the Gita and its insights into the struggle for self-mastery that we all must wage.
