G¿t¿r G¿n

A jewel of profound and transcendent wisdom, the Bhagavad-gita, according to Aldous 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.
