The Bhagavad-Gita, also known as the Song of the Divine One, holds a revered place as a significant episode within the epic Mahabharata. Presented in the form of a profound dialogue, it takes place between Dhritarashtra, the blind king of Hastinapura, and Sanjaya, who vividly narrates the happenings on the battlefield to the king.
Derived from the wisdom of the Upanishads, the Gita is often hailed as the quintessence of these ancient scriptures. Its positive and dynamic approach has earned it widespread admiration, but the endeavor to define the ineffable has, at times, led to certain limitations, resulting in apparent contradictions within the text.
It is crucial to understand that this book is not a comprehensive exposition of the Gita but rather an introduction to its profound teachings. The first nine pages offer essential background information to familiarize young readers with the context surrounding the dialogue.
To make the ideas presented in the Gita accessible to a younger audience, the authors have thoughtfully provided interpretations, without claiming absolute authority over the original text's meaning.
The authors express their heartfelt gratitude to His Holiness Swami Ranganathanada and His Holiness Swami Chinmayananda for their valuable time and insightful suggestions, which have enriched the content of this book.
In essence, this book seeks to introduce and share the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad-Gita with young readers, acknowledging its depth and significance within the broader framework of the epic Mahabharata and the profound spiritual heritage of the Upanishads.
