The Bhagavadgita is a gospel for humanity of all times, as a general directive to spiritual development and realization. It is particularly of value to the present-day world which is anxiety-ridden and tension-torn in almost every walk of life. The Bhagavadgita is the answer of the Infinite to the calls of the finite. It reflects the solutions not only to the conditions of man on earth but of situations in the universe as a whole.
The Bhagavadgita is a textbook not of religion but of religion as such, the voice of the higher consciousness which unfolds itself in to the Absolute. This booklet is a condensation of the entire position of the Bhagavadgita gospel. In this production are involved the efforts of Sri C. Krishnamoorthy (Sri Swami Yogaswarupananda), a resident-seeker at the Headquarters of The Divine Life Society, to which the early release of this work was originally due.
