The Gita is one of the most
authoritative sources of Hindu doctrine and ethics, and is accepted as such by Hindus of
all denominations. A study of even selections from it, strengthened by earnest meditation,
will enable young men and women to understand the religion of our fathers, which is the
background of all the noble philosophy, art, literature and civilization that we have
inherited.
There are many excellent translations of
the Gita in English and in the Indian spoken languages. For scholars, the commentaries of
Sri Sankaracharya and other great religious teachers are mines of knowledge before which
any modern notes are but chaff. The following pages are intended for students who have not
the equipment and time for studying the original text with any of these great
commentaries.
