About the Book
This is the Sanskrit-English B/W Edition of Gitopanishad composed by Ratnakar. It is world's first Sanskrit rendering of the Gita, wholly in Anushtubh Shloka chhanda of Valmiki Ramayan. Its brand new 1500 sholks are in side-by-side union with the 700 verses of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. This work is neither a translation nor a commentary, but it is a devotional musical poetry on the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. Its objective is to answer the unanswered questions and question the unquestioned answers, while defining each yogic term clearly, in sweet musical language. While doing so, the aim is to provide a proper background for the Gita and to remove the misconceptions, wrong notions and missing links that linger in the commentaries on the Gita. Hindi being the National Language of India and the most spoken Indian Language in the world, soft Hindi music is an interesting dimension of this work. For Research Scholars and Ph.D. Students this book is a gold mine of Research Topics. For Sanskrit Scholars and the insightful Gita lovers, whether they know Sanskrit or not, this is English translated ocean of knowledge.

Review :
Dear Dr Narale, I bought your book Geeta Ka Shabdkosh from World Book Fair New Delhi 2017. I would like to congratulate you on your superb scholarship and hard work. It is a wonderful book and it will be very useful to scholars and serious readers. Please keep up the good work. Dr Kuldip Dhiman
Simply superb: This is an outstanding book for learning Sanskrit, and I want to congratulate Professor Ratnakar Narale (PRN) for this superb contribution and gift to Sanskrit lovers. Maharashtrians have the tradition of great scholarship in Sanskrit, and it is not surprising that PRN has authored this gem of a book. I am 77 now, and I am relearning Sanskrit, and I am deeply grateful to PRN for making this relearning process both easy and very pleasurable.
