Study Circle Talks on The Bhagavadgita: In the context of lectures delivered by Acharya Vinoba Bhave and compilations made by Sane Guruji

Talks on The Bhagavadgita

Edited by Chandan Sukumar Sengupta

Some people maintain a view regarding Gita is that the entire aspects depicted in this holy book are a confusing one. Saints from olden times worked differently to show that Gita is much relevant in terms of rituals and propositions presented in it. Here also we are trying to trace out a link up in between rituals, traditions and practices that we have in nature to re-establish the age old faiths of the omnipresence of divine within us at its varying formats.

When we talk about the approach with which Acharya Voinoba Bhave continued addressing people at different instances then it becomes evident that the saintly person remained concerned with the effort of making the Holy Scripture simple and context friendly. Vinoba wanted to take the core of the spiritual doctrines and started correlating with the issues and concerns of the immediate context. Talks on The Bhagavadgita delivered by him in Dhuliya Jail are incorporated in this volume to enable fellow aspirants to move through the original verses of the saintly guide. His observatioons related to the welfare activities and planning process is the second important part followed by the experiences gained by a wonderer who accompanied Acharya Vinoba during Bhudan Movement.

This book is developed to meet the increasing demand of fellow aspirants having eagerness to understand the philosophy of Village Self Government, People’s Empowerment, Spiritual Unity, Personality Development and related issues from the light of Sarvodaya and Self Sufficiency.
