As a philosophical treatise and a religious canon, Bhagavad-Gita stood the test of time. With the prevalence of literacy, many hundreds of published and unpublished translations and commentaries abound. People find solace in the philosophy of G¿t¿ and existential security in the promises given by Sri Krishna. G¿t¿ was abused and is still subjected to harassment by philosophers and preachers who find it necessary to use it to support their doctrines and claims. This translation shows what Sri Krishna explained to Arjuna in terms of their cultural situation. At least in so far as the Mah¿bh¿rata described. This translation stands apart from others by its lack of exploitation of the G¿t¿ for missionary or for philosophical purposes. Once you begin reading this, you may be reluctant to put it down. This really can put you in touch with Lord Krishna and with Arjuna, the initially discouraged but later courageous and enlightened warrior. Most of all, this volume opens the door to understanding the life style of persons who lived in the time of ¿r¿ Krishna. With that clarification, you can methodically and consistently integrate the G¿t¿. ¿As a philosophical treatise and a religious canon, Bhagavad-G¿t¿ endured the test of time. With the prevalence of literacy, many hundreds of published and unpublished translations and commentaries abound. People find solace in the philosophy of G¿t¿ and existential security in the promises given by Sri Krishna. This exceptional translation and commentary opens an avenue to Krishna's explanations about the mysteries of material existence, the individual self and the Supreme Being. It answers many questions, some of which are: Who are we? What is our purpose? Is there an eternal self? Is this physical world the one and only dimension?
Michael Beloved (Yogi Madhv¿ch¿rya) took his current body in 1951 in Guyana. In 1965, while living in Trinidad, he instinctively began doing yoga postures and trying to make sense of the supernatural side of life. Later on, in 1970, in the Philippines, he approached a Martial Arts Master named Mr. Arthur Beverford, explaining to the teacher that he was seeking a yoga instructor. Mr. Beverford identified himself as an advanced disciple of Rishi Singh Gherwal, an astanga yoga master. Mr. Beverford taught the traditional Astanga Yoga with stress on postures, attentive breathing and brow chakra centering meditation. In 1972, Madhv¿ch¿rya entered the Denver Colorado Ashram of Kundalini Yoga Master ¿r¿ Harbhajan Singh. There he took instruction in Bhastrika Pr¿¿¿y¿ma and its application to yoga postures. He was supervised mostly by Yogi Bhajan's disciple named Prem Kaur. In 1979 Madhv¿ch¿rya formally entered the disciplic succession of the Brahm¿-Madhava Gaudiya Sampradaya through Swami Kirtanananda, who was a prominent sanny¿si disciple of the Great Vaishnava Authority ¿r¿ Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, the exponent of devotion to Sri Krishna. After carefully studying and practicing the devotional process introduced by Sri Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, Madhvacharya was inspired to do this translation of the Bhagav¿d- G¿t¿, which initially was published hard bound, under the title of Bhagavad G¿t¿ in Its Own Time and Place, by Asian Printery, Gujarat, India. The translation without commentary is published as Bhagavad G¿t¿ English. The translation with sansikrit text and word-for-word meanings, is published as Bhagavad G¿t¿ Revealed. This publication does not concern making or controlling disciples. It is designed to give readers insight to what Sri Krishna and Arjuna discussed in the discourse, without any effort to convince or convert. It is free of missionary overtones. Regarding those who carefully study the G¿t¿ and those who hear it with confidence,, Sri Krishna said this: I would be loved by the devotee who by sacrifice of his knowledge, will study this sacred conversation of ours. This is My opinion. (18.70) Even the person who hears with confidence, without ridiculing is freed. He should attain the happy worlds where persons of pious actions reside. (18.71)
