The Bhagavad Glta represents perhaps the earliest consistent attempt of man to arrive at an integral view of existence. It is a living witness to the ever-present, though often undermined, trend in Indian thought to do justice to the organic wholeness and complexity of life. Today where a pressing need for integration is felt in almost all areas of life, this ancient tradition is of profound relevance. Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita is a penetrating and lucid analysis of the philosophical implications and, above all, the cultural and historical context of the Gita. The material is arranged in such a manner as to guide the reader gradually to the central core of the gospel of Krishna. By bringing a fresh approach to the exegesis of the Glta, the author is able to present many old issues in a completely new light and also to disclose several important new aspects. His main emphasis throughout is on rendering the central message of the GIla meaningful to the modern reader. His interpretations are based on a critical analysis of the original Sanskrit text and on personal experimentation with the underlying yogic practice of Krishna's teaching.
