The original gita

Comments and Word-for-Word Sanskrit Translations

Available in English for the first time, The Original Gita focuses on the basic

philosophical and practical essentials of life and living. The questions:What

is thought? What is space-time? What is life-death? are examined to give a

foundation for the understanding of the Gita. The author comments on the

209 verses of The Original Gita, and a Sanskrit-to-English word-for-word

translation is given of the 319 verses in the classic Bhagavad Gita that

correspond to these verses. A mini Sanskrit-English dictionary is included

for further clarification.

Work according to your characteristic style, in agreement with the teachings.

To fall teaches one to rise. Be yourself and let others be themselves.

The Original Gita

We might go on reading books and listening to wise people but we have to

investigate for ourselves. Only personal inquiry can bring us understanding

and take us beyond limitation. From the Introduction
