The Gita offers a succinct summary of ancient Indian philosophy, with particular emphasis on the Supreme Spirit as both immanent and transcendent. Since its introduction into the Western world some two hundred years ago, the poem has been translated into practically every modern tongue, and is today the most widely read and discussed of all Eastern scriptures. Its emphasis is on two aspects selflessness. Recension of the Gita, combined with illuminating Essays on the poem make the present work unique. It works as a bridge between the Gita’s oriental approach and modern occidental thought.

About the Author(s)

WILLIAM Q. JUDGE, a renowned Theosophist of his time, had profound

knowledge and deep insight into the study of Theosophy. He was the writer

of highly acclaimed ideas that transmit perfectly the wisdom of Theosophy

to the lay readers.

This book underscores that the Gita is not for abandoning active life but for reconstructing.

The book focuses particularly on the modern man. It does not deal with an imaginary or an ideal situation but with man’s real life. It recognises that man is caught up in a whirlpool of conflicting values and tries to resolve and reconcile them. The book explores various dimensions of man’s life – as an individual, as a family member, as a social being and as a businessman, as well.

The book selects only a few chapters and shlokas and brings out the principal teachings of the Gita which are of direct relevance in the context of contemporary modern life.
