Synopsis It is estimated that the Bhagwad Geeeta has been published in more than 2000 editions and translated into at least seventy-five languages. The number of commentaries to the Geeta is similarly plentiful. Why, then, the reader may ask, is there a need for yet another book drawing on the profound message of the Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta? In the author’s view, the commentaries and translations to date have bypassed the scientific truths contained in the Geeta, which is an index of the scientific principles enunciated by the rishis and contained within the Vedas. It is his objective to bring the broad framework of these valuable truths to light. This book offers an exposition of buddhi yoga, the message of the Geeta. Buddhi yoga is the union of knowledge (jnana) and action (karma) with intelligence (buddhi) and infertility (nishtha). This work seeks to define these terms in their deeper rather than superficial sense, and then to indicate the paths and methods delineated in the Geeta to achieve the desired fusion of knowledge, action and intelligence in our daily activities. Readers with a natural and keen interest in the pursuit of scientific thought (vijnana) will be entranced by the current work’s exploration of far deeper and broader perspectives of the Geeta that have been available heretofore.
