Bhagavad Geetha (Gita) is always a book which inspired scholars, both Eastern & Western. So many were intrigued by it. There are many translations & interpretation were made to it, in many languages, worldwide. There are numerous books on Gita are written in all Indian languages. This book, Sreemad Bhagavad Geetha Rahasyam a href="http://buy.mathrubhumi.com/books/math..., is in Malayalam, the famous South Indian Classic language. The original book was written in Marathi by Lokamanya Balaganadhara Thilak in Yarwada Jail, during freedom fighting from British Empire. This was translated to Hindi by Madav Sapre, which was approved and accepted by Thilak. It is very beautifully and lucidly translated to Malayalam by (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan, the greatest Vedic scholar of recent times.

This book contains Antharanga Pareeksha, Bhairanga Pareeksha, original slokas in Sanskrit, meaning, interpretation and comparison of Eastern & Western religious comparisons.

Note
As a follower of Vedic school of Maharshi Dayananda Saraswati (founder of Arya Samaj) continued by (Acharya) Narendra Bhooshan (whom I consider as my Manasa-mental Guru) in Kerala, I strongly believe that Indian (Eastern) Philosophies can be expressed better in Indian (Eastern) languages than English. I felt (sorry to say) that "English language is insufficient, inadequate, inappropriate and inefficient language to express Indian Philosophies, especially which are in Sanskrit language.

Life transforming!It's the supreme secret! I have always revered Bal Gangadhar Tilak as a great freedom fighter,astounding orator and writer. Although the book is very tough to understand, it is worth reading. The book is a precious gem of his career! and certainly one of the precious gems on the earth!
