Mahatma Gandhi's translation and commentary on the Gita, presented to his followers at prayer meetings over a nine-month period in 1926, is regarded in India as one of the most important of the twentieth century. In clear and simple terms, Gandhi addresses the concerns that most directly impact the spiritual lives of common people. He draws on his extraordinary life experiences and profound inner searching to illuminate what he describes as "the gospel of selfless action". His Gita is a call to detached service to others and devotion to God, for readers of every faith.
