Bhagavad-Gita

About the Book

The Bhagavad-Gita raises the fundamental question of the problem of human action and dispels the darkness and negative emotions, created by the wavering Mind. It explains the basic concepts of religion as such, which are neither ancient nor modern but eternal, which belong to the humanity, past, present and future. As a book of higher knowledge, the Gita does not refer to any particular religion or a School of thought. It attempts to provide a meaningful direction out of the tunnel of darkness and ambivalence. To love all, and to serve all, is the quintessence of the philosophy of Bhagavad-gita. The path of knowledge is the path of love and devotion.
