Bhagavad Gita Abridged And Explained

Bhagavad Gītā — ABRIDGED When Babaji wrote the summaries for each chapter of the unabridged Bhagavad Gītā, which were published in three volumes in 2015, he said he hoped that the summaries might one day be included in a separate book. This abridged offering completes that wish. It is hoped that aspirants will find this a worthy tool for inquiry into the study of this ancient scripture.

Baba Hari Dass (Babaji) wrote the summaries of the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita to make the essence of the Gita accessible for all spiritual seekers and students. Babaji was completely versed in the Gita from several vantage points: cultural, lifelong personal study, and the discipline of a mauni sadhu (silent monk) in the Vairagi Vaishnaiva sect. It was from this complete and nuanced understanding that he wrote his full commentaries on the Gita, published in three volumes.

The largest-selling edition of the Gita in the Western world, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better. Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment. The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life? Where is he going after death? In response, Krishna brings His friend from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment, and each one of us is invited to walk the same path.
