Srimad Bhagavad Gita: Volume 3In ancient India, when people wanted to teach spiritual lessons, they did so through symbolic stories. The Bhagavad Gītā is one such story. Gītā refers to poems that are sung and Bhagavad means God or the Self. So the Bhagavad Gītā is known as the Song of God. This version of the full e-publication of the Bhagavad Gītā has been divided into three separate e-books mirroring the three volumes of the original print. Volume 3, Chapters XIII-XVIII, focuses on Jñāna Yoga, the yoga of knowledge. |
