SARAL GITA

 

From all the scriptures representing or reflecting Hinduism, none has got as much attention and recognition as Bhagvad Gita has got. The essence of Indian religion and heart of ancient scriptures is packed inside 700+ verses of Bhagvad Gita. Bhagvad Gita has transcended the boundaries of time and place. There is hardly any language in the world into which it has not been translated.

Centuries ago, on the battle field of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna gave an inspiring message to Arjuna. However, it was not only meant for Arjuna, it was aimed at mankind as a whole. In each of us lie Pandavas and Kauravas – the vices and virtues. In our minds lie Kurukshetra – the battlefield where a relentless fight between right and wrong goes on. In the trying times when we are unable to decide what to do, Gita come to our favor and show us path.

Shri Yogeshwarji not only comprehended Bhagvad Gita but manifested it in his day to day life long before he started delivering discourses and writing volumes on it. As time passed by, he became an authority on it. Out of many of his books on Gita, ‘Saral Gita’ became immensely popular. The book has to be reprinted not only once, twice or thrice but more than twenty five times - an ample proof of its enormous popularity.

What is Saral Gita? It is a poetic rendering of Bhagvad Gita in Gujarati. ‘Saral’ means easy; truly to its name, ‘Saral Gita’ is easy to understand, easy to sing and comprehend. The original Bhagvad Gita is in Sanskrit but theses days, most of the people have difficulty comprehending Sanskrit. Shri Yogeshwarji has done a noble work of making it available for the people of Gujarat in their own language. To read Saral Gita in PDF format, visit our books section.

The tune is based on ‘O Ishwar Bhajiye Tane…’ – a very famous Gujarati prayer. ‘Saral Gita’ – an audio cassette recorded by well known Gujarati singer Ashit Desai and Hema Desai is also available.
