Bhagavad Gita
This book was originally published by Alladi Mahadeva Sastri (1861-1926) in 1901Alladi Mahadeva Sastri was born in May 1861 in Pudur, India. Being well studied in Sanskrit and English, he was able to recite Vedas.In 1891 he became the first Curator of the Oriental Library and began translating the classic Bhagavat Gita commentaries by Sri Shankaracharya into English. He was praised by Swami Vivekananda for this commendable work. Sastri book was published in 1901.The translation is comparable to other translations and gives precise translations of difficult Sanskrit words.In editing this book, I removed all the commentaries and kept just the sloka translations. This allows for smooth reading of passages.
My Journey to God
My journey to God began in my childhood. My mother followed all rituals and rites as a Hindu woman, but made priority to serve the poor. That was her religion. My father, on the other hand, didn’t believe in any sort of supernatural being, but talked passionately about his atman. That was his religion. My husband had seen some of the poorest among the poor in his village fervently following their religions and all the rituals their priests prescribed to them. Neither to exploit nor to be exploited became his religion. There are so many gods and goddesses. That many religions and faiths. Even more gurus and swamies, telling us what to do and what not to, while the poor and the vulnerable people around the world being cheated, exploited, and even murdered. Where is the God? What is S/he doing to improve the worsening environmental conditions—the heatwaves, the melting of the iceberg, the hurricanes and tsunamis? These are the reasons I took this journey.
