The Bhagavad Gita stands as one of the most profound spiritual texts ever composed—a dialogue not merely between a warrior and his charioteer but between the human soul and the eternal Self. Over centuries, countless interpretations have sought to unravel its depth, each reflecting the perspective and temperament of its commentator. Yet amidst this multiplicity, the lens of Advaita Vedanta—the philosophy of non-duality—offers a uniquely illuminating path: it reveals the Gita not as a treatise on external duties alone, but as a timeless guide to the unveiling of the Self, the singular reality underlying all existence. Advaita Gita: Essays on the Non-Dual Unveiling of Shri Krishna’s Timeless Wisdom is an exploration of the Gita through this non-dual perspective. Here, the familiar dialogues of Arjuna’s doubts and Krishna’s guidance are re-examined, not as moral or ritual prescriptions, but as pointers toward the recognition of the immutable, unchanging Consciousness that is the essence of all life. Each essay delves into a verse, a theme, or a philosophical strand, unraveling the subtle interplay of maya, ignorance, and liberation, and guiding the reader toward an experiential understanding of the Self.
