Friends,
Many of you have suggested / asked, why "Bhagavad Gita" is not one of my inspirational book. A short answer, I haven't read it yet. I am sure once I read it and more importantly understand it, it could be the best inspirational book of all time.
There have been hundereds of commenteries written on Bhagavd Gita. I would like to draw from the reader's experiences in terms of their recommendation for a particular commentary.
Manish.
From Wikipedia.
Bhagavad gita - The discourse on the Bhagavad Gita begins before the start of the climactic battle at Kurukshetra. It begins with the Pandava prince Arjuna, as he becomes filled with doubt on the battlefield. Realizing that his enemies are his own relatives, beloved friends and revered teachers, he turns to his charioteer and guide, Krishna, for advice.
In summary the main philosophical subject matter of the Bhagavad-gita is the explanation of five basic concepts or "truths":
Ishvara (The Supreme Controller)
Jiva (Living beings/the soul)
Prakrti (Matter)
Karma (Action)
Kala (Time)

Dear Manish :
U got it right. By far , I found :
"B.Geta As It Is :Prabhupad Of
ISKCON."
I have it & am prepared to give U as a gift.U need in English Or
in Gujarati. It has disected every " Sloka " by samas & sandhi, and then explained so simply that
any layman c'd be able to digest the meaning. The only condition is that :U & your parents must read at least one sloka & its explanation everyday, no matter what, where U 're,what U do, because ,then only u c'd think of liberation, which is the ultimate
object of this human life, not just to " Eat, Drink & be Marry ".... Thx. for reading & waiting for your promise......
from this body came to be identified as...........Ramesh
Thanks Rameshkaka for your response and your offer. I will look for the book.
