About the work
This book was first published in 2017. The publishing house which brought it out has recently informed this author that they are closing the business down. Therefore, the book is being republished on the Notion press platform, as a revised version.
This is a rendering of all the eighteen chapters of the Gita in verse form. I have no idea if anybody else from India had ever attempted a verse rendering of the Gita in English. It is accompanied by a pretty elaborate introduction, essays on the various aspects of the Gita, notes on untranslatable Sanskrit terms, and a consolidation of Gita’s teachings under easily-understood headings. This work had elicited good comments from Prof. Gavin Flood, Professor of Hindu Philosophy and Comparative religion, at Oxford University, U.K., who had himself done a work on the Gita, among others.
