This book provides the intrinsic essence of the highest philosophical truths of Gita. The Sanskrit compound words in the seven hundred verses are meticulously uncompounded with the concordance of the verses so that Bhagavana Sri Krsna's words are interpreted consistently with the previous and the next verse and chapter from beginning to end, following their real intent. The complete text of Gita is provided with word-to-word meaning and translation, which enables the reader to reach the original intent of Gita. The brief glossary and pronunciation guide will also provide guidance.
The book corrects the erroneous views of some modern commentators whose approach has been mainly intellectual and have read in the divine words more than the approval of their mental inclinations. The author's interpretation provides oneness between Sankhya-Yoga and Karma-Yoga, the oneness between knowledge and Karma. The proper conduct of either is possible only after reaching that state, where the doer of Karma does not stay a doer, his doership-ego with its root nescience is burnt in the fire of knowledge, the relationship of I-ness and mineness in the body, senses, mind, and intellect is removed, and he becomes fit to attain steadfast union with oneness in the Brahman.
