‘Literary Echoes of Gita’ endeavours to comprehend how a timeless work of literature transitions through generations while retaining its contemporary relevance through multiple perspectives and interpretations that develop over time. The author attempts a contemporary analysis and comparative study of the interpretations of one of the most revered texts in Hindu Philosophy – Bhagavad Gita, by Sant Dnyaneshwar and Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, two luminaries in India’s socio-political, spiritual, and intellectual history. Sant Dnyaneshwar’s 13th-century literary work, “Dnyaneshwari”, is a profound, transcendent, and devotional masterpiece that emphasizes the unity of all existence and the path to self-realization through love, knowledge, and wisdom. In contrast, Lokmanya Tilak’s early 20th-century work “Gita Rahasya”, offers a rational and action-oriented interpretation, highlighting the importance of duty and ethical action in the quest for national independence, personal freedom, and social justice. By exploring the historical, social, and political contexts in which these interpretations were situated, this book further attempts to reveal the profound relevance of their teachings in today’s world.
