title: The Bhagavad Gita With the Uttara Gita (English and Sanskrit Edition)
author: Raghavan Iyer
description: The Gita is one of the clearest and most comprehensive summaries of the Perennial Philosophy ever to have been made. Hence its enduring value, not only for Indians, but for all mankind. -- <i>Aldous Huxley</i><br /><br />The more I study the Gita, the more I am made aware of its uniqueness. For me, it is a spiritual dictionary. Whenever I am in doubt as to what I should or should not do, I fall back upon it, and so far it has never disappointed me... It is a tremendous force for straightening the creases of the soul; it is the refuge of the afflicted; it is an awakener from stupor. -- <i>Mahatma Gandhi</i><br /><br />This episode of the Mahabharata is the most beautiful, nay, perhaps the only true philosophical poem which all the literatures known to us can show. I read the Indian poem for the first time when I was in Silesia, and while doing so, I felt a sense of overwhelming gratitude to God for having let me live to become acquainted with this work. It must be the most profound and sublime thing to be found in this world. -- <i>Wilhelm von Humboldt</i>
