ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
Bhagwad Gita, the repository of great wisdom has been
variously described, as a phenomenal philosophical document, a motivational
treatise, the firth Veda, the song-divine etc. Indeed it is all of these and
much more.
A closer examination will also reveal its hidden lyrical and
rhythmic beauty. Each of its seven hundred Shlokas, have been written in the
form of a verse and ll of them are steeped in the traditions of Indian
classical music. All verses have the same meter and they hav3e been composed in
such a way that makes them eminently amenable to the rigors of Sur and Taal.
Sanskrit in Gita is not in a narrative form and can not therefore be read as a
story.
