All learned scholars, philosophers, and sages around the globe have held the message of the holy dialog between Lord Krishna and Arjuna from the Bhishma Parvan episode in Mahabharata in deep reverence. Geeta’s teachings are universal and intended for the benefit of all creation. You can find hundreds of comments on Bhagawad Geeta in both Indian and foreign languages. Dr. Radhakrishnan said that this book has been a source of comfort for centuries. It outlines in clear and concise words the fundamental principles of a spiritual faith, which is not dependent on unscientific dogmas, arbitrary fancies, or ill-founded facts. This translation is a modest addition to the earlier work of the Geeta scholars. The translation has been accompanied by Romanized Sanskrit verses to encourage modern generations to study this ancient scripture. This translation is meant to assist Indians who live in foreign countries, and to stimulate foreigners’ interest in Sanskrit verses. It also helps them understand Geeta’s meaning in a simple and flexible language.
