Publisher's Synopsis
The Bhagavad-Gita is a sacred Hindu text that has been revered for centuries. This particular edition, published in 1901, includes the commentary of Sri Sankaracharya, a revered philosopher and theologian. The text itself consists of a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna, who is actually an incarnation of the god Vishnu. The conversation takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna is about to fight a battle against his own relatives. Through their dialogue, Krishna teaches Arjuna about the nature of the soul, the importance of duty, and the path to liberation. Sri Sankaracharya's commentary provides deeper insights into the text, explaining the philosophical and theological concepts in greater detail.
