Basics Of Bhagavad Gita ( A thematic Study Of Bhagavad Gita )

Basics Of Bhagavad Gita

Bhagavad Gita is one of the most practical literature given in the dramatic background of the battlefield of Kurukshetra setting amongst the families of the same dynasty where the important ideas relevant for humanity are given in dialogue format .

This is the divine song sung by the Lord Krishna himself to which today’s world interprets all on their own whimsical ideas and speculative interpretations. The reason that it remains a mysterious text for most people to understand is , the readers are taken away from the speaker 

The Bhagavad Gita is undoubtedly one  of the greatest spiritual texts the world has known. 

But we are often deluded by the modern representation of Bollywood of what Krishna says. The literal meaning of Bhagavad Gita is the ‘’Song of God’’

When Krishna says I am the supreme object of worship there is no need for speculation. We take the statement to mean exactly what it says that  Krishna is supreme. That it is. It is as simple as that.

This book is a beginner’s guide for those who wish to understand the  text of Bhagavad Gita as it is. Concerning the topics of God , Creation , The Law of Karma , Material Nature and Time , Practical Application of Bhagavad Gita etc.

 The book has adopted a thematic approach to clear the conceptual concern rather than chapter wise as it may sometimes seem difficult to understand the flow of such vast literature.

A book is better understood when we understand it from the perspective of the author himself. Thus we follow a process of disciplic succession and try to understand the meaning of Bhagavad Gita . Srila Prabhupada has thus written and named the commentary by Bhagavad Gita As Its Is ,  to indicate the importance of understanding the literal meaning without any interpretation. When we make an effort in the right direction with a direct approach rather than speculate we can then come to a conclusion to understand the meaning of the Lord of what he had to say rather than following misinterpretations like Krishna once said so as it can be so seen in today’s world with no factual basis

Nature is speaking the highest glory of the Lord at every moment , to understand it we need proper eyes and ears. This book shall be a guide for those intellectuals who wish to understand the supremacy of the Lord and understand his creation as the cause of all causes .

This book is a humble attempt to make the subject as simple as possible yet clear and substantial. We hope you will find this useful in your journey to spiritual success and happiness . 

This book at the end also contains a guide for sanskrit pronunciation. We wish you all the best on this exciting voyage.
