The Bhagavad Gita - A World Scripture Today

From the Publisher's Note of the Bhagavad Gita - Text and Commentary by Sri Sivananda (Sivananda Press Durban SA), Divine Life Society of S.A. states the following:

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the world-scriptures today. It guides the lives of people all over the world. Mahatma Gandhi regarded it as the "Mother", to whom the children (humanity) turned to in distress. Sri Swami Sivananda wants us to study daily at least one discourse of the scripture, so that its great lessons are ever fresh in our memory.

There are so many commentaries on the discourses of the Bhagavad Gita. So in the undertaking of sharing this great work with you, there will be references from more than one book. In doing so, it will be noted which ones are being utilized.
