What is the Bhagavad-Gita? Is it just a religious text? When was it
composed? How relevant is it to the modern world? This book answers
these foundational questions and more. It critically examines the
Bhagavad-Gita in terms of its liberal, humanist and inclusive
appeal, bringing out its significance for both present times and
novel applications. The author elaborates the philosophy underlying
the text as well as its ethical and spiritual implications. He also
responds to criticisms that have been levelled against the text by
Ambedkar, D. D. Kosambi and, more recently, Amartya Sen. With
additional material including chapter summaries of the
Bhagavad-Gita, the second edition of the volume proposes new ways
of utilising the text in diverse fields, such as business and
management and scientific research. Eclectic and accessible, this
work will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, religion,
history, business and management studies, as well as the general
reader.
