Krishna's Enchanting Rhythms of Gita

📖 The Scoop

This work contains 101 Shlokas selected from various chapters of the Bhagvad Gita, covering a large range of subjects, such as Karmayoga, Gyanyoga, stable intellect, balance and harmony, attaining yoga, God's benevolence etc. The text contains translation of each shloka, a brief commentary and meaning of every word that appears in Sanskrit.

For the first time however, the written text is also accompanied with musical renditions. Distinct from chanting, all of 101 Shlokas have been sung and recorded in the traditions of Hindustani classical music with sur and taal in ten different ragas. These appear in two accompanying CDs in the same sequence as they are placed in the book.

It is our belief that textual reading combined with the listening experience will take our appreciation of the Gita and its profound wisdom to an altogether different level hitherto not reached.

The book includes two CDs with approximately two hours and 40 minutes of music.
