What is the Bhagavad-Gita? Is it just a religious text? When was it composed? How relevant is it to the modern world?
This book answers these foundational questions and goes beyond. It critically examines the Bhagavad-Gita in terms of its liberal, humanist and inclusive appeal, bringing out its significance for the present times and novel applications. The author elaborates the philosophy underlying the text as also its ethical, spiritual and moral implications. He also responds to criticisms that have been levelled against the text by Ambedkar, D. D. Kosambi, and more recently, Amartya Sen. The volume proposes unique bearings of the text in diverse fields such as business & management and scientific research.
Eclectic and accessible, this work will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, religion, history, business & management studies as well as the general reader.

Who am I to dedicate whose existence is created by You? //1//
Even then, Oh Doer of Everything, accept
what little is done born from your love!
The essence of the Gita needs to be disseminated among people;
I am just an instrument ( nimitta ) in Your own work. //2//
The Bhagavad-Gita is spoken of by numerous waves of ( bhangibhih ) commentaries;
their underlying ( talina ) purport ( tatparyam ) is narrated in this book. //3//
The Gita has been criticised in confusion by critics with false arguments;
their refutation is presented (here) logically and politely only. //4//
In the course of time, new applications ( prayogah ) of the Gita have come into vogue;
their narration is also offered in good detail. //5//
Through this book, I salute (and) propitiate ( yaj a mi ) You in all modesty, the Lord of the universe,
(who is) affectionate to all, and nicely abiding among the readers. //6//
