PUBLISHERS’ NOTE
The
Bhagavad Gita
is one of the world-scriptures today. It guides the lives of people all over
the world. Mahatma Gandhi regarded it as the “Mother”, to whom the children (humanity) turned
when in distress. Sri Swami Sivananda wants us to study daily at least one discourse of the
scripture, so that its great lessons are ever fresh in our memory.
Each discourse has been preceded by a short summary giving the substance of that discourse
in a nutshell.
We are extremely grateful to Sri Swami Chidananda, the World-President of the Divine
Life Society, for his
Foreword
and assistance in the preparation of some of the summaries.
