These pages contain:

(1) Sanskrit text in Devanagari and transcription;

(2) Paraphrase that was compiled mainly from Sri Aurobindo’s Essays on the Gita. It first appeared in The Message of the Gita, edited by Anilbaran Roy, in 1938. Sri Aurobindo approved this book for publication; however, he made it clear that the translations in the Essays were “more explanatory than textually precise or cast in a literary style”. Many of them are paraphrases rather than strict translations. Sri Aurobindo also wrote that he did not wish extracts from the Essays “to go out as my translation of the Gita”.

(3) Three variants of audio records. The 1st — by Swami Brahmananda; the 2nd — two voices; the 3rd — Jagannath Vedalankar who joined the Ashram in 1945.
