Author and physicist C. Radhakrishnan makes use of the methodology and concepts of modern science to accomplish a thorough analysis of ancient wisdom. This totally different work thus becomes the first ever scientific reading of the Gita. The book is also replete with information on Eastern philosophy based on the doctrine of the Upanishads making it invaluable for anyone seriously interested in Vedantic knowledge. (The author's latest scientific research on Avyakta has been published in the Prespacetime Journal Vol 7 Issue 16. - a physics journal focusing on studies in spacetime, fundamental forces including gravity and related topics). In this book the Bhagavad Gita is not considered as a religious text but as the simplest form of yoga sastra. The book shows how this knowledge, when cleansed of all superstitions, can help anyone lead a successful and happy life in the modern world with freedom from all sorrow. It can light the way for anyone \ anywhere in today's complicated life irrespective of religion, gender, nationality, caste or creed. There is a common misconception that Upanishad wisdom is reserved for monks and it is neither practical nor possible for the ordinary man to follow in life, but this work convincingly clears that notion. Never before has successful Vedantic vision in regular day to day life explored in such simple and feasible manner as in this. The book contains the Sanskrit text of the Gita in roman script plus simple translation of every verse followed by commentary containing in-depth Vedantic study. Originally written in Malayalam (one of the Classical Languages of India), the work was serialized in Mathrubhumi daily - the leading newspaper of Kerala - over a period of two years. Published as book in Malayalam language in 2011, the work is the best selling Bhagavad Gita book in that language with five impressions already. (C. Radhakrishnan is a well-known author and physicist and has been recognized by India's National Akademi of Letters, the Kerala Sahitya Akademi and almost every other body promoting creative literature of the language he writes. He is winner of the Ezhuthachan Award which is the highest recognition given to authors in Malayalam language, and also the Murtidevi Award of the Bharatiya Gnanpith Trust for the best creative work in Indian languages.)
