The present work is a new perspective on the Bhagavad-Gita, supported by through research, for it focuses attention on the social relevance of this famous Hindu scripture. Part 1 provides a penetrating analysis of how new interpretations of the Gita palyed a significant role in the social history of India during the ninteenth and twentieth centuries. The illustrative material consists of five case studies relating to : Raja Rammohun Roy, Swami Vivekananda, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Aurobindo Ghose and Mahatma Gandhi. Part II expalins how the social applications of the Gita are linked with its most important teaching for the modern age, viz.,Loksamgraha- the good of the society. Lokasamgraha is a sanskrit term occurring in the Gita but not in Upanishads and a modern interpretation of the lokasamgraha-approach is the inculcation of social values and a sense of social responsibility in each individual.

The Social Message of the Gita

Symbolized as Lokasaṁgraha : Self-composed Sanskrit Ślokas with English Commentary

By: Satya P. Agarwal

This book is a landmark in the wide panorama of Gita Literature, the universal nature of which is reflected in the use- in the form of prose as well as poetry-of an increasing number of the world`s languages. As the first book to utilize original verses in modern Sanskrit to convey the social massage of the Gita, it not only fills a significant linguistic gap but also focuses attention on social issues which call for urgent action by karmayogins.
