Preface
(Written by the author and posted as it is)

Originally I wrote Bhagavad Gita As It Is in the form in which it is presented now. when this book was first published, the original manuscript was, unfortunately, cut short to less than 400 pages, without illustrations and without explanations for most of the original verses of the Srimad Bhavad gita. In all of my other books - Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Isopanishad, etc, - the system is that I give the original verse, its English transliteration, word for word Sanskrit - English equivalents, translations and purports. This makes the book very authentic and Scholarly and makes the meaning self-evident. I was not very happy, therefore, When I had to minimize my original manuscript. But later on, when the demand for Bhagavad Gita As It Is considerably increased, I was requested by many scholars and devotees to present the book in the original form, and Messrs, Mecmillan and Co. agreed to publish the complete edition. Thus the present attempt is to offer the original manuscript of this great book of knowledge with full parampara explanation in order to establish the Krsna Consciousness movement more soundly and progressively.

Note: I posted above content as it is the author published in his book Bhagavad Gita As It Is.
