Bhagavad-gītā with Vidvat-rañjana-bhāṣya

শ্রীমদ্ভগবদ্গীতা (বিদ্বদ্রঞ্জন ভাষ্য)
Original Author: Śrīla Vyāsadeva / Śrī Kṛṣṇa
Original Bengali commentary (Vidvat-rañjana) and word-for-word Bengali translation (Rasika-rañjana) on Bhagavad-gītā

An illuminating Bengali commentary on the Bhagavad-gītā, synthesizing the earlier classical commentaries of Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura and Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa.

The central crest-jewel of the Gītā is pure bhakti-yoga (chapters 7 through 12). Karma-yoga without desire for fruits naturally purifies the heart and culminates in unalloyed devotional surrender (śaraṇāgati).
