Dear Readers

 Dear Readers: Thank you for your patience. I will continue with the stories and tales of Mahābharata shortly. At the present moment I'm trying to finish my summary of the essential points of Bhagavad-Gītā.

As you may know from your own personal study, the Bhagavad-Gītā is difficult to summarize. Its 800 or so verses are written in terse Sanskrit whose interpretation may take many words to unwind. Bhatkivedānta Swāmī's version runs to over 900 pages. I'm trying to give a bit of an overview; one that may be useful to inspire the average reader to go through the original. I think the Bhagavad-Gītā requires a profoundly personal reading; each truth-seeker will have his own personal understanding of the Gītā, just as each of us has our own sense of how to approach divinity.

This is a work in progress and hasn't been proofread properly. With some luck I may be able to bring this out as a more formal publication in future. Thanks to all of you who have sent in corrections and good wishes.
