Gitanidarsana - Similes of the Bhagavadgita
by Anantanand Rambachan
(75 pages, Paperback, © 1999)
Gitanidarsana - Similes of the Bhagavadgita:
In the Bhagavadgita, Krishna employs various teaching methods to aid Arjuna's comprehension and to
remove his misunderstandings. He often explains a difficult statement with the aid of a simile drawn from
everyday human experience and the Gita contains some of the most suggestive and beautiful similes in
the entire sacred literature of Hinduism. The similes of Krishna add a beautiful visual dimension to
words and invite reflection and exploration.
In this book, Prof. Rambachan has chosen twelve similes for reflection. They deal with diverse but
interrelated matters such as the nature of the self, death, scriptures, self-control, peace, wisdom and the
nature of God. These similes offer an exciting entrance into the Hindu world view and the author invites
us to explore the inexhaustible richness of each image.
