Author: Bhagvad-Gita  / Genre:Self Improvment

The spiritual ethos and the philosophical outlook that the Bhagvad - Gita postulates paves the way
for the liberation of man, who, as Rousseau said, ‘being born free, is everywhere in chains’. But equally
 it is a mirror of human psychology, which enables man to discern his debilities for appropriate redressal.
 All the same, the boon of an oral tradition that kept it alive for over two millennia became its bane with
 the proliferation of interpolations therein. Besides muddying its pristine philosophy, these insertions
affect the sequential conformity and structural economy of the grand discourse. What is worse, to the
 chagrin of the majority of the Hindus, some of these legitimize the inimical caste system while upholding
the priestly perks and prejudices. This rendition seeks to restore to the Gita, its original character by
ridding it of hundred and ten interpolations, which tend to keep the skeptics away from it. And ironically
these muddle the understanding of the adherents as well. In the theatre of man as nothing surpasses
the drama of war, the stage for unveiling the Gita’s unrivaled philosophy was set on the battleground
 of Kurukshetra at the threshold of the battle of Mahabharata. Awe Unfounded The Bhagvad Gita,
popularly known as Gita, with its twin tracks of spiritual ethos and philosophical outlook, helps man
commute to the destination of human excellence on the broad gauge of life. The unsurpassed art
 of living that the Gita expostulates, paves the way for 5 the ‘liberation of man’ and that’s what
makes the Gita, which probably is around for over two millennia now, the treatise of self-help.
