ABSTRACT

Many interpretations of the Gita have been reviewed above. What do they all add up to? What does the text itself say? What follows is not an attempt to present yet another interpretation different, but an attempt to arrive at my own understanding of the Gita’s philosophy with openness, without sentimental attachment to any particular established school of philosophy (following the Gita’s advice to be detached in this respect too!). Such an intellectual detachment can also impart some freshness.
