The sequence of themes broadly follows the sequence in The Gita.

To my friends Partho, who listens Paromita, who sees Contents Why My Gita Before My Gita: A Brief History of The Gita My Gita 1.

You and I matter to each other After My Gita: Yet Another Discourse by Krishna Recommended Reading Why My Gita T he Bhagavad Gita, or The Gita as it is popularly known, is part of the epic Mahabharata.

The Bhagavad Gita The epic describes the war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas on the battlefield of Kuru- kshetr a.

His words contain the essence of Vedic wisdom, the keystone of Hinduism.

Ramkrishna Paramhansa, the nineteenth-century Bengali mystic, said that the essence of The Gita can be deciphered simply by reversing the syllables that constitute Gita.

So Gita, or gi-ta, becomes ta- gi, or tyagi, which means one who lets go of possessions.

Gi-ta to Ta-gi Given that, it is ironical that I call this book My Gita.

Reason 1: My Gita is thematic The Gita demonstrates many modern techniques of communication.

First, Arjunas problem is presented (Chapter 1), and then Krishnas solution (chapters 2 to 18) is offered.

Krishna begins by telling Arjuna what he will reveal (Chapter 2); he then elaborates on what he promised to tell (chapters 3 to 17); and finally, he repeats what he has told (Chapter 18).

T he so lutio n itself is co mpr ehensive, invo lving the behavio ur al (kar ma yo g a), the emo tio nal (bhakti yoga) and the intellectual (gyana yoga).

However, no one reads The Gita as a book, or hears every verse in a single sitting.

Chapter Architecture in The Gita Traditionally, a guru would only elaborate on a particular verse or a set of verses or a chapter of The Gita at a time.

For, unlike modern writing, The Gita is not linear: some ideas are scattered over several chapters, many ideas are constantly repeated, and still others presuppose knowledge of concepts found elsewhere, in earlier Vedic and Upanishadic texts.

In fact, The Gita specifically refers to the Brahma sutras (Chapter 13, Verse 5), also known as Vedanta sutras, said to have been composed by one Badarayana, sometimes identified with Vyasa.

Fur ther, at places, the same wo r ds ar e used in differ ent ver ses to co nvey differ ent meaning s, and at other instances, different words are used to convey the same idea.

For example, sometimes the word atma means mind and sometimes soul; at other times other words like dehi, brahmana and purusha are used for soul instead of atma.

This can be rather disorienting to a casual reader, and open to multiple interpretations.

So My Gita departs from the traditional presentation of The Gitasequential verse-by-verse translations followed by commentary.
