In this series, a young enlightened
Master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda
comments on the Bhagavad Gita.
Many hundreds of commentaries of
the Gita have been written over the
years. The earliest commentaries were
by the great spiritual masters such as
Sankara, Ramanuja and Madhva, some
thousand years ago. In recent times,
great masters such as Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa and Ramana Maharishi
have spoken from the Gita extensively.
Many others have written volumes on
this great scripture.
Nithyananda’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita is not just a literary translation and a simple explanation of that translation. He takes the reader through a world tour while talking about each verse. It is believed that each verse of the Gita has seven levels of meaning. What is commonly rendered is the first level meaning. Here, an enlightened master takes us beyond the common into the uncommon, with equal ease and simplicity.
To read Nithyananda’s commentary on the Gita is to obtain an insight that is rare. It is not mere reading; it is an experience; it is a meditation.
Sankara, the great master philosopher said:
‘A little reading of the Gita, a drop of Ganga water to drink, remembering Krishna once in a while, all this will ensure that you have no problems with the God of Death.’
Editors of these volumes of Bhagavad Gita have expanded upon the original discourses delivered by Nithyananda through further discussions with Him. For ease of understanding for English speaking readers, and to cater to their academic interest, the original Sanskrit verses in their English translation have been included as an appendix in this book.
This reading is meant to help every individual in daily life as well as in the endeavour to realize the Ultimate Truth. It creates every possibility to attain nithyananda, eternal bliss!
