Students of Indian universities know much less about the Gita and the principles of Hinduism than undergraduates of European universities know about the Bible and Christianity.

The present handbook is a welcome step towards correcting this sad situation.
The present book has been written mainly to serve as a Hand-Book for students.

The subject wise classwise classification of the topics on which the Gita dwells is greatly useful for the students, as it helps them to acquire a broad yet systematic view of Gita’s philosophy as a whole.

The value of this book for the beginner lies especially in the fact that there is a conscious effort on the learned author’s part to refrain from making it a book for scholars.
