Book Description
Abhinavagupta, probably the greatest genius of India inthe fields of philosophy, aesthetics, poetics, dramaturgy, Tantraand mysticism, is being rediscovered only in the last few decades.Although several scholars, in India and abroad, areengaged in studying his works, it is surprising that there arestill few translations available.The great merit of the present translation of Abhinavagupta sasummary of the (real and secret) meaning of the BhagavadGÏtÈ: is: First, it includes the text and translation of the Kashmiriversion of the Bhagavad GÏtÈ, which in places differs from theone commented upon by ’a×kara. Besides, it brings out thespecific meanings in the context of Kashmir Shaiva philosophyand yoga, without being influenced by SÈ`khya or VedÈnta.
