The original gita
Comments and Word-for-Word Sanskrit Translations
Available in English for the first time, The Original Gita focuses on the basic
philosophical and practical essentials of life and living. The questions:What
is thought? What is space-time? What is life-death? are examined to give a
foundation for the understanding of the Gita. The author comments on the
209 verses of The Original Gita, and a Sanskrit-to-English word-for-word
translation is given of the 319 verses in the classic Bhagavad Gita that
correspond to these verses. A mini Sanskrit-English dictionary is included
for further clarification.
Work according to your characteristic style, in agreement with the teachings.
To fall teaches one to rise. Be yourself and let others be themselves.
The Original Gita

investigate for ourselves. Only personal inquiry can bring us understanding
and take us beyond limitation. From the Introduction
