[Advaita-l] Release of of the book "The Original Bhagavad Gita"

[Sunil Bhattacharjya via Advaita-l]

Dear Sujalji,
I miss your mail. Hence the late response. 

Yes, there are two versions of the Bhagavad Gita. . One was that which was referred to by the sage Vaishampayana during his narration of the Mahabharata to Janmejaya and at time Vedavyasa was very much physically present there. The second version peobably came to be when during the later narration of the Mahabharata the narrator Sauti could have dropped certain verses, the possible reasons for that has been discussed in the book, published now.

Thanks,
Sunil KB

Namaste Sunil ji,

Congrats and my best wishes.

Mahamandaleshwar Swami Ved Bharti says that two recessions of Bhagavad Gita
exists.

1. Found in Mahabharata upon which Adi Shankaracharya and others have
written commentaries.
2. Kashmiri Recession upon which Abhinavagupta and rAmakaNTha have written
commentary. This version contains many additional verses says Swami ji

Swami Ved Bharti is disciple of Swami Rama of Himalayas. He has translated
YV-BhG (Yoga Vasista Bhagavad Gita) with tatparya prakasha, a commentary by
Anand Bodhendra Saraswati

Ref: Page 50

Bhagavad Gita found in Yoga Vasistha is called as arjunopAkhyAna, but Swami
Ananda Bodhendra Saraswati in his commentary 'tAtparya prakASa' calls it
YV-BhG (Yoga VAsistha Bhagavad Gita)

Kind Regards

Sujal
