The Gita for the Youth

Introduction

This book has been compiled entirely from Sri Aurobindo's Essays on the Gita. The compilation has been done by a sadhak who is a disciple of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. In 1972, he had mentioned to the Mother his aspiration to bring out a small book on the Gita, of about 100 pages, specially suited to the young. The Mother had approved and blessed the project. However, due to various reasons, the compiler could take up the work only in 1987. Now that it is completed he gratefully offers it at the feet of the Master and the Mother.

The Gita has a message for all. In this compilation the stress has been on those passages which could inspire the Youth and guide and help them towards a new future. If this book can lead even a few of its readers to go to the complete work of Sri Aurobindo and to practise and live the Yoga of the Gita it would have served its purpose.

The titles and subtitles have been given by the compiler and are based on Sri Aurobindo's writings.
