There are innumerable translations, commentaries and treatises on Gita in almost al’ the major languages of the world. The translations have attempted to bring to light the underlying theme of this song of the divine. The commentaries have tried to establish a certain point of view of philosophy or spirituality and are, therefore, largely subjective. Every time we study this song celestial a new meaning dawns on the horizon of the intellect. Gita is a science which gives the theory and the method of its application. It is a document of universal application meant for the humanity at large. In the present volume the author has culled out material on various topics dealt with in this holy book and scattered in different chapters and analysed and interpreted them under one heading. Consequently it deals with topics as varied as re-incarnation, meditation, knowledge, sin, yoga and renunciation. The book is primarily aimed at the youth of today and intends to inspire the readers to undertake the mission of raising themselves from animality to divinity.
