The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is one phase of the Tripod of Indian Philosophy and culture, the other two phases being the Upanishads and Brahmasutras. While the Upanishads lay the foundation of the loftiest reach possible for humanity and the Brahmasutras logically elucidate the intricate issues involved in the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita blends together the Transcendent and the immanent features of the Ultimate Reality, bringing together into an integrated whole knowledge and action, the inner and the outer, the individual and the society, man and God, all of which are portraued as the facets of a Universal Operation presenting entire life and all life as a perfectly complete organic wholeness, leaving nothing unsaid and attempting to solve every problem of life. His Holiness Swami Sivananda is one of the great exponents of Philosophy, religion and the technique of the Bhagavad Gita system, and his commentary is regarded as one of the most authoritative expositions available.
