Modern Indian Interpreters of the Bhagvadgita

This is a collection of careful, objective, historically sensitive studies of modern commentators on the Bhagvadgita, one of the basic scriptures of Hinduism and one which has been widely read in the modern west. Experts on modern Indian religious thought show how Gandhi, Vivekanand, Radhakrishnan, Bhaktivedanta, Aurobindo, Tilak, Bhave, Sivanand, the Theosophistis, and Bankim read, used and interpreted the Gita. Collectively, essays display the different backgrounds and orientations of the major Indian thinkers of our time. An Introduction and a conclusion provide a perspective on the thinkers and identify common themes which are part of modern emphases. The contributors to the volume are – Ronald W. Neufeldt, Ajit Ray, Robert W. Stevenson, Wilson, Harold W. French, David M. Miller, Robert D. Baird.
