Students of Indian universities know much less about the Gita and the principles of Hinduism than undergraduates of European universities know about the Bible and Christianity. The present handbook is a welcome step towards correcting this sad situation.The present book has been written mainly to serve as a Hand Book for students. The subject wise classwise classification of the topics on which the Gita dwells is greatly useful for the students, as it helps him to acquire a broad yet systematic view of the Gita's philosophy as a whole. The value of this book for the beginner lies especially in the fact that there is a conscious effort on the learned author's part to refrain from making it a book for scholars.
