The Bhagavad Gita (Translated by Dr. Ramanand Prasad 6/01/1988)
The Bhagavad Gîtâ is considered by many as one of the most popular texts among the world's scriptures,. Its popularity is demonstrated by the fact that, next to the Bible, it is perhaps the most widely translated of scriptural texts. This scripture is suited for the entire humanity, irrespective of a person's religious or ethnic background.
The Gîtâ is said to be the Revelation given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna, in the battle field to help him resolve his mental conflict. It was then put in the present form by sage Vyâsa.
In India, ever since the great Shankarâ wrote his commentary on it, many eminent scholars of the vedanta philosophy have given their interpretations of this exemplary text. The interpretations of the text were not only done by ancient Indian thinkers, but many leaders of modern times have also taken it as a text for expounding their noblest thoughts. They include books such as Tilak's Gîtâ Rahasya, Aurobindo's Essays on Gîtâ and Mahatma Gandhi's Anâsakti Yoga show the continued preference and admiration for Gîtâ over centuries.
The Gîtâ's tremendous appeal lies in the fact that it deals with practical problems of Life, and contains lessons that we can follow to resolve our day to day conflicts.
