The Bhagavadgita Original Commentary: Unveiling the Gita's Secrets is one of the most comprehensive commentaries on the Bhagavadgita in recent times. Jayaram V published a commentary earlier in 2011 under the title The Bhagavadgita Complete Translation. Jayaram V spent three years and published a new edition in 2024 under the new title, Bhagavadgita: Unveiling The Gita's Secrets, completely and thoroughly revising his earlier commentary and providing an in-depth analysis of each sloka and yoga, citing relevant information from classical commentators like Shankaracharya and Madhavacharya, as well as ancient texts such as the Yogasutras and the Upanishads. He also offered a detailed historical background of the teachings, discussing the circumstances, the socio-religious context, and the key influences that might have led to their formulation. In translating the scripture, he adhered to the traditional Vedic interpretation of the slokas without being influenced by any particular school, sect, or teacher tradition. To provide additional clarity and context, he tried to bring out the original intent of each verse and the most plausible meaning of each word in the context of the times in which they were composed. Both the previous versions have been withdrawn and are no longer in circulation. The current 2025 edition is similar to the 2024 edition except for the main title and a few spelling and grammatical corrections. We hope this work will help you understand the significance of the ancient wisdom contained in the scripture. The Bhagavadgita is a compendium of many ancient yoga philosophies on liberation from human suffering, with universal appeal and ageless wisdom. It inspires those who want to live dutifully and attain freedom from the limitations of life. Composed originally in Sanskrit, it delivers a unique message, which is still relevant, exhorting the devotees of God to live virtuously and perform their duties selflessly as an offering to Him, with detachment and dispassion. In translating it and presenting a detailed commentary, Jayaram has brought to light the richness of the scripture and its ageless wisdom.
