The Bhagavad Gita or "Song of God" is the most widely studied Hindu scripture (shastra), giving it the status of being the Hindi Bible. It's eighteen chapters are an excerpt of the great epic, Mahabharata, that records the battle (yuddha) between the Pandavas and Kauravas. Shri Krishna, an avatara or incarnation of Lord Vishnu, become the charioteer (sarathi) for the mighty Pandava warrior, Arjuna, and gives him spiritual guidance based on the teachings of the sages of ancient India (rishis) while on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Many topics central to the non-dual teachings of advaita Vedanta are included in this guidance, including: Krishna arjuna geeta sanjaya dhritarashtra duryodhana ayodhya dharma vedanta vyasa bhagvad bhagwad geetha mahabharata mahabharat arjun sanjay duryodhan vyas vishada sankhya karma yoga sannyasa moksha meditation dhyana dhyan jnana vijnana vibhuti brahma brahman vishvarupa vishwarupa vishwaroop guna daiva asura purushottama shraddha kshetra kshetrajna akshara.

Swamiji, no words to thank you for such a creative way of bringing Bhagawad Gita to millions of millennials. This video should reach millions and millions across the world.

Wow I am blown away by this translation. It is so identical to the way Swamiji narrates/sings the Sanskrit version of the Gita. Much beneficial for the English only speaking people.
Kudos Swami ji.

Thank you for reuploading this!!
One of the best readings of the Bhagavad Gita currently online

One's own original language goes so deep. I love Sanskrit, but I also love my mother tongue :-)

[carlos.rberto]

Amazing! This is my first contact with Bhagavad Gita.

[hermocrasbreadlord]

That was pretty cool! I considered listening to an audiobook that had more detail, but when I first found this video it was quite alien to me. Being an American I'm used to preaching, lecturing, and simple reading. I never heard an epic or scripture recited like this in English, this is much more entertaining and beautiful than a simple reading.

[katyafriedman-bush]

I missed this! I was weeping for months knowing this was gone, attached indeed, to have this version disappeared. thank you! Great non existent merit to you.

[Sreeni]

Congratulations Swamiji for this bold attempt. Had the Lord addressed Arjuna in English, these were the very words He would have uttered. Your melodious voice and glorious message of the Song Celestial combine to edify and simplify the esoteric scripture within the reach of common man and woman. Also, it brings tears in one's eyes on listening to the mellifluous rendition. Humble Namaskar 🙏
