Foreword

The Bhagwat Geeta presents practically the easiest spiritual solution to the naughtiest and mightiest mundane problems of human life. Herein Arjun represents a cultured human being besieged by innumerable perplexing situations of life. The Geeta very sweetly and fondly shows the most attractive path for salvation out of it, and thus makes life worth living and finally enables the person to achieve self-realisation. As the author Sri Munindra Misra has rightly said in his introduction - "Lord's teachings do not end with what He stated to Arjun. He resides in each of us and so communicates to us through our conscience."

I congratulate the versatile genius of the budding scholar for giving a sweet poetic English version to a most popular but most difficult Sanskrit philosophical work, and thus propounding the essence of Indian Upanishidic philosophy to the non-sanskritic mass of India and abroad.
