Shreemad Bhagavad Gita

The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most ancient scriptures in the world. It contains the direct word of God, spoken for all of mankind, irrespective of religion or tradition. Its philosophy and teachings are central to human life. It teaches us to live our daily lives in Divinity, as a service unto God and His creation. It achieves this by gifting us true knowledge, faith, devotion, surrender, detachment, and a release of expectations and ownership over one’s own actions. It comes as a stark contrast to the lives with which we have grown accustomed to leading. Today’s world is filled with constant desire for material wealth, sense pleasures, individualism and egoism. The Gita acts as a lighthouse on the shores of Vaikunta, guiding lost sailors at the sea of illusion to safety. But like any teaching, time and unqualified minds can distort it and misunderstand what is contained within. It is for that purpose that the Lord continuously takes birth on earth in the form of the Guru to revive the true essence of the Gita, to show the simplicity of the message of Bhagavan. One such Master is Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and in this book, which is his personal commentary, we hold a treasure chest of spiritual insight.
