The Original Bhagavad Gita (Complete with 745 Verse- Including al the Rare Verses)

Description

The Original Bhagavad Gita contains the rare verses and the total number of verses in it is 745, which is in conformity with the Gitamana verse of the Bhishma parva of the Mahabharata. A millennium ago Abhinavagupta included some rare verses in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. The Kashmiri version of the Bhagavad Gita brought out by Schraeder in the early last century contained rare verses. The book, published by the Gondal pith, based on an ancient manuscript from Varanasi, contained many rare verses. Another ancient manuscript from the royal collections of Gondal, brought out by Dr. E. Vedavyas in the nineteen eighties contained many rare verses. But these manuscripts had some superfluous verses too. Some superfluous verses might have been possibly added for further explanations by some later day writers. Though the existence of the rare verses of the Bhagavad Gita is well documented it is only the present book, based on three decades of research, gives the original version of the Bhagavad Gita with all the 745 verses and have identified and excluded the superfluous verses. The rpesent book exactly conforms to the Gitamana verse and is as was originally composed by Maharshi Vedavyasa. However the commonly available version does retain the sanctity as the verses in it are genuine, though that does not have the rare verses.
