The Essence of
Philosophy
The Bhagavad Gita is the most sacred
book of the Indian philosophy. Philosophy, of all kinds, begins in Bhagavad Gita and ends in Bhagavad Gita and it envelops the synthesis of human life. It is the essence of all Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads. It teaches how to run one’s life peacefully, happily and harmoniously and how to live in tune with the nature.
Gita is the universally renowned spiritual wisdom and the ultimate of philosophical knowledge. Discoursed by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a series of steps to the science of self realization.
Hundreds of books have been published world wide with different commentaries and interpretations on Bhagavad Gita but His Divine Grace A.C .Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s book, ‘Bhagavad Gita As It Is’ is completely different from others.
Bhagavad Gita As It Is, containing the original Sanskrit text, English equivalent for each Sanskrit word, elaborate commentary, complete glossary and verse index and color illustrations, is the unique one.
This book has attracted many a good review from the cream of the review- writers in the world.
