Why Read the Bhagavad Gita?

For those searching for answers to life’s deepest questions—“Who am I?” “Why do we suffer?” “What is the purpose of life?” “What happens after death?”—the Bhagavad Gita, a key part of the Mahabharata, offers profound wisdom and guidance. This sacred Hindu text provides clear answers to these questions and more, making it essential reading for anyone interested in spiritual growth, self-realization, and understanding Hindu philosophy.

Why Another Commentary?

We have now completed the first decade of the 21st century and a host of such erudite commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita sit upon our bookshelves and in our libraries – surely there is no call for yet another! However, though the message of the Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation and our necessity is constantly adapting. This clear and concise commentary is being presented – a brief commentary called the Anuvritti, to meet the necessities of our constantly evolving times.

I made a mistake when I tackled the Bible years back: I read it in Victorian English, without any expert commentary, so I understood shit about fuck. Maybe less.

This time, when I decided to read the Gita, I chose a copy with modern commentary from sw. Narasingha and it was dumbed down just enough for me to get some of it.

Full disclosure, I subscribe to no religion - frying your brain on Ayahuasca/DMT will do that to a lad - but, like many, over the years I did develop my own personal set of spiritual beliefs and I have to say that so far it seems that I share most of them with Hinduism: aside from the practice of worshipping any kind of named and specific deity, or an assortment of such.

Karma? Yes. Reincarnation? Yes. Eternal soul? Yes. Samsara? Yes. Everything and everyone being part of one, a.k.a. oneness of consciousness? Yeppers.

This is a beautiful hardcover book. The commentary should be read with caution, because it is after all, just commentary, but I do think it is helpful to better understand the scripture itself.

I really enjoyed the story and enjoyed some of the lessons taught by Krsna. Even though I don't accept this as absolute truth, there is certainly a lot of truth contained herein. The lessons are really too wide and too numerous for me to expound upon here.
