Bhagavad Gita is an extraordinary text, for it offers hope even amid a war on the battlefield, where one stands deluded at the crossroads of life and death. More remarkably, it does not prescribe a single path alone, but presents three independent paths for the holistic transformation of one's life through continuous spiritual progress. One may choose any of these three paths-action (Karma), knowledge (Jnana), or devotion (Bhakti)-according to one's eligibility, inclination, and previous practice. When pursued rightly, each of these paths leads to everlasting bliss, wherein all miseries come to a permanent end. Ramanuja, the most compassionate among the Vaishnava gurus, offers a profound and fresh exposition of Lord Krishna's teachings by harmonizing the Bhagavad Gita with the broader body of Vedic literature. The rigor of his reasoning, along with its simplicity, precision, and incomparable clarity, ensures that the timeless insights of this sacred text speak to modern hearts without distortion. Whether one approaches the Gita seeking spiritual solace, intellectual clarity, or devotional inspiration, this commentary provides a path illuminated by uncompromising truth and the gentle assurance that the Divine unfailingly responds to sincere seeking. Serving equally as a guide for both the heart and the intellect, this work reveals the Gita as a living scripture, ever ancient, ever new, and ever ready to awaken the soul to its own eternal nature.
