Gitar Gan: Singing the Song Divine

A jewel of profound and transcendent wisdom, the Bhagavad-gita, according to Adous Huxley "is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind". The Bhagavad-Gita's message-the Supreme Being guiding an individual soul trapped and groping in darkness on the battlefield of worldly life- indeed relates in all times to all people.

In 1962, working alone with a manual typewriter, the renowned bhakti scholar Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada condensed the Bhagavad-gita's seven hundred verses into simple rhyming Bengali couplets. This book, called Gitar-Gan, first published in 1973, sold nearly a million copies and is still widely popular throughout Bengal and Bangladesh today. The book in your hands presents Gitar Gan fully translated and poetically arranged in English for the first time.

"Both veterans and newcomers to Bhagavad-gita will appreciate this highly readable and inspiring edition. Rarely does one find answers to the big questions in such an enjoyable way." -Sitala Devi, Author The Glorious Life of Srila Narottama Dasa Thakur
