Philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita

This book delves into the moral and metaphysical foundations of the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita into two parts. Part one explores the moral philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita (Gita), detailing the structure of moral actions, the nature of moral agency, and the primacy of free will within a universe governed by eternal divine laws. The second part of this book examines the divine order of the universe, explaining the nature of the supreme Godhead that orchestrates the cosmos according to fixed moral laws, or dharma.Unlike traditional commentaries, this book offers an analytical study of Gita’s core moral and metaphysical concepts. It elucidates why moral agents must detach from their actions and surrender their ego and agency to Godhead, viewing their actions as offerings or yajna. It provides a roadmap for overcoming temporal struggles to attain the timeless reality of the Divine.Presenting the Gita as an open-ended philosophical text, this book addresses how ordinary individuals can lead morally enlightened and spiritually fulfilled lives.
