Anu-Gita in the Mahabharata
Who it's for: Readers interested in Hindu scriptures and comparative study of the Gitas

This pioneering book makes the Anu-Gita accessible to English readers, offering a simplified version of its profound teachings.

The book is structured into two parts: the first presents the Sanskrit shlokas alongside their clear English translations, and the second offers a detailed comparative analysis, highlighting the similarities and differences between the Anu-Gita and the Bhagavad-Gita.Why You Should Read?

Access a simplified, easy-to-read English rendition of this complex ancient text, complete with original Sanskrit shlokas.
