Essay gita

Tilak wrote Gita Rahasya to elighten the modern world through Gita. Annie Besant and Sri Aurobindo have also interpreted Gita in the context of the modem age. In the modern times when all the efforts of the world peace seem to rest on the walls of sand, Gita’s teaching of world brotherhood can very well guide humanity.

The Bhagavad-Gita was written in 400 BCE and 200 CE like Vedas and Upanishads. But authorship of Bhagavad-Gita is unclear but as per Indian priest various people Lord Krishna is the author of Bhagavad-Gita.

The teaching of the Gita must therefore be regarded not merely in the light of a general spiritual philosophy or ethical doctrine, but as bearing upon a practical crisis in the application of ethics and spirituality to human life.

The first series of Essays on the Gita appeared in the monthly review Arya between August 1916 and July 1918. It was revised by Sri Aurobindo and published as a book in 1922.
