Essays on The Gita (The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo #19)

Essays on the Gita by Sri Aurobindo –
essays on the philosophy and method of self-discipline presented in the
pre-eminent Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. It was after reading
these essays, in particular, that in the 1930s President Wilsons
daughter went to Sri Aurobindo and devoted her life – receiving the name
Nishtha via his vision in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram at Pondicherry.

The first series of Essays on the Gita appeared in the monthly review Arya between August 1916 and July 1918. It was revised by Sri Aurobindo and published as a book in 1922.

The second series appeared in the Arya between August 1918 and July 1920. In 1928 Sri Aurobindo brought out an extensively revised edition in book form.
