Significance of the Gita, its date and authorship -- Classical commentators of the Gita -- The Gita goes global -- Makers of modern India and their interpretations of the Gita -- Contemporary interpretations -- Philosophy of the Gita -- Criticisms of the Gita and response -- Novel applications.;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 more. It critically examines the Bhagavad-Gita in terms of its liberal, humanist and inclusive appeal, bringing out its significance for both present times and novel applications. The author elaborates the philosophy underlying the text as well as its ethical and spiritual implications. He also responds to criticisms that have been levelled against the text by Ambedkar, D. D. Kosambi and, more recently, Amartya Sen. With additional material including chapter summaries of the Bhagavad-Gita, the second edition of the volume proposes new ways of utilising the text in diverse fields, such as business and management and scientific research. Eclectic and accessible, this work will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, religion, history, business and management studies, as well as the general reader-- Provided by publisher.

Translation
How can I dedicate this as mine whose source is (as) told by You?
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//
