The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita According to Mahatma Gandhi. A shloka by sloka interpretation of a great work by a great sage. The Gita is not a historical discourse. It is the description not of war between cousins but between the two natures in us - the Good and the Evil. The deeper you dive into it, the richer the meaning you get. It being for the people at large, there is pleasing repetition. With every age, important words will carry new and deeper meanings - Mahatma Gandhi. The Bhagavad Gita is perhaps the greatest work of practical Indian philosophy. Among the various interpretations of the Gita, the one by Mahatma Gandhi holds a unique position. In his own words, his interpretation of the Gita is designed for the common man - who has little or no literary equipment, who has neither the time nor the desire to read the Gita in the original and yet who stands in need of its support. Gandhi interpreted the Bhagavad Gita which he regarded as a gospel of selfless action, over a period of nine months from February 24th to November 27th 1926 at Satyagrah Ashram, Ahmedabad. The morning prayer meetings were followed by his discourses and discussions on the Bhagavad Gita.
