Bhagavad Gita as a Unified Whole

This translation has a unique feature that makes it stand out from the rest: It gets you to realise that the Bhagavad Gita tells not just the truth, but the whole truth. This perhaps is the first ever translation of the Bhagavad Gita that gets the readers to experience the Bhagavad Gita as the expression of the whole truth.

Prof. Nair’s translation does not force you to see the Bhagavad Gita from a particular angle and then make you think that this partial picture is the complete picture of the whole of the Bhagavad Gita. Instead, this translation lets you see the whole of the Bhagavad Gita – Bhagavad Gita in its entirety. It helps you free yourself from the impression that the Bhagavad Gita is all about transcendent knowledge alone or all about action alone or all about devotion to a personal god or all about how to win wars or all about non-violence. And it also frees you from the impression that the Bhagavad Gita is the sum total of all these partial impressions.

This translation really helps you understand that the Bhagavad Gita is a homogeneous whole in which the teachings about all these topics – and their sum total – are united together centrally around a single lesson: An all-important lesson that alone can help you live a life of effectiveness and true joy in this world. And what is this all-important lesson? Find out.
