The sublime message of Bhagavad-gita is time-less and is applicable in every facet of life. Within the Bhagavad-gita are the answers to the mysteries of existence - our real purpose in this world, how we should act and why we suffer, or are often-times helpless in our struggle for survival. To understand the Bhagavad-gita one must enter into the spirit of the Gita by accepting the path of devotion (bhakti). Accordingly, the Gita's message cannot be properly understood by mental speculation. To this end, the sublime process illuminated within the Gita must be accepted as given by the speaker Himself, Sri Krsna. The active principle of understanding the message of the Gita is to hear directly from the Master of yoga, Sri Krsna, who is glorified throughout the Vedic literature as the Supreme Person, the Absolute Truth. Sri Krsna speaks to Arjuna in Bhagavad-gita and thus one who studies the Gita hears from Krsna directly. The philosophy of Bhagavad-gita is clear for the sincere reader, yet for some, approaching the Gita may seem daunting - its language too ancient. However, this obstacle is easily overcome by a straightforward translation and commentary (Anuvrtti). The requirement for a translation and commentary on the Gita is as necessary today as anytime in the past. With the passing of time, our values and our world view are constantly changing, and this demands a fresh approach to the under-standing of the Gita. This translation and commentary on the Bhagavad-gita provides simple, yet profound knowledge to elevate us to a higher state of consciousness whereby we can realise our true self and progress towards attaining a life of spiritual fulfillment. Self-realisation means to realise our actual purpose in life and act towards it, gradually freeing us from the yoke of material bondage
