Index of Eknath Gita

Dr.Eknath Easwaran lived in the last century. Being an English professor he wrote prolifically about Hindu scripture. His books were translated into many European languages. This is the first time as far as I know someone attempted to translate his Bhagavad Gita Volumes 1,2 & 3 to Telugu. The following is an index of the 3 books arranged by the chapter and slokas. Like Dr.Easwaran, I left India at a young age, but did not have as much exposure to the culture as him. So my Telugu is a bit rusty. You may forgive my grammatical and spelling mistakes. Better yet, drop me email. Getting back to Dr.Easwaran, he founded Blue Mountain Meditation Center in Northern California where he trained hundreds to meditate. You will find that he emphasized on Meditation along with unselfish service and love for all creatures.

For the sanskrit slokas and their translation into Telugu, I have used Swami Sundara Chaitanyaa Nanda's Bhagavat Gita pocket book. It was a life saver. But it is very pithy. That's the reason, I think, the slokas need to be interpreted to the 21st century realities. On the other hand, if you just want to read what Sri Krishna said the small book is a great source.

Book 1 (Chapters 1-6)

Book 2 (Chapters 7-12)

Book 3 (Chapters 13-18)

Telugu English All Show History Victory of Devi Mahatripura Sundari over Bhandasura “Bhandasura was a demon created from the ashes of Kamadeva by Chitrakarma. This character makes his appearance in, and is the main antagonist of the Lalitopakyanam, part of Brahma Purana. Bhandasura was created from the ashes of Kamadeva and performed severe austerities to please Lord Shiva, for which he was rewarded with the boons that whomsoever dares to fight Bhandasura would forfeit half of his strength and masculinity to him. Bhanda was also given the city of the demons, Shunyaka (in the Mahendra Hills) to live in and was promised emperor hood of the multiverse for sixty-thousand years without any obstructions in his path.

Ramana Maharshi Index

Ramana Maharshi (30 December 1879 – 14 April 1950) was an Indian Hindu sage and jivanmukta (liberated being).He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him,and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" (avesam) which he recognized as his true "I" or "self", and which he later identified with "the personal God, or Iswara", that is, Shiva. This resulted in a state that he later described as "the state of mind of Iswara or the jnani". Six weeks later he left his uncle's home in Madurai, and journeyed to the holy mountain Arunachala, in Tiruvannamalai, where he took on the role of a sannyasin (though not formally initiated), and remained for the rest of his
