The Original Gita Aphorisms
Comments and word for word Sanskrit Translations
The Original Gita predates the Bhagavad-Gita and can be considered its core. This short book by the author of Eastern Thought and the Gita: The Original Gita and The Bhagavad-Gita Compared consists simply of these verses embodying the striving for oneness its various forms presented in Sanskrit, English and Dutch with some textual and linguistic notes. This makes it suitable for reflective reading and for those who read more than one language and insight into the different ways in which subtleties can be expressed. This is interesting for me as I am grappling with Dutch at the moment, although the text is more suitable for specialist scholars.
