ABOUT THE BOOK

Shrimad Bhagavadgita: The Song Divine By Shri Krishna by Virendra Kumar Gupta is a meticulous English translation and commentary of the 700-verse Hindu scripture. This edition is specifically designed to make the profound dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna accessible to a modern, English-speaking audience without losing the poetic and philosophical essence of the original Sanskrit. Gupta focuses on the Gita as a "manual for life," emphasizing its psychological relevance in overcoming doubt, anxiety, and moral dilemmas. The book typically presents the original Sanskrit shlokas, followed by Roman transliteration and a clear, verse-by-verse English explanation that highlights the "Yoga of Action" (Karma Yoga).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Virendra Kumar Gupta is a dedicated scholar of Indian philosophy known for his efforts to bridge the gap between ancient Eastern wisdom and contemporary logical thought. His writing is characterized by a "seeker-centric" approach, where he treats the reader not just as a student of history, but as an individual looking for practical solutions to modern stressors. Gupta’s work is often praised for its simplicity and its ability to explain complex Vedantic concepts like Prakriti (Nature), Purusha (Self), and the three Gunas (qualities of nature) in a relatable, non-sectarian manner.
