Bhagvad Gita, the repository of great wisdom has been variously described, as a phenomenal philosophical document, a motivational treatise, the fifth Veda, the song-divine etc. Indeed it is all of these and much more.A closer examination will also reveal its hidden lyrical and rhythmic beauty. Each of its seven hundred Shlokas, have been written in the form of a verse and all of them are steeped in the traditions of Indian classical music. All verses have the same meter and they have been composed in such a way that makes them eminently amenable to the rigors of Sur and Taal. Sanskrit in Gita is not in a narrative form and can not therefore be read as a story.
