Question

Hey dear brainliac friends

I want the essay writing on the topic Importance of Bagavat Gita by Swamiji Vivekananda.

Best answer is honoured as brainliest

Answer 1

Swami Vivekananda's commentary on Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta as viewed by Swami Madhurandana" should be the appropriate title for this book instead of present one, 

This book is very good for begginer who wants a breif idea about 'Bhagwat Geeta' and Swami Vivekananda's correlation of its with Rajyoga, Jana yoga, karmayoga  and other indian philosophical principle,


This book is beautifully written, pays emphasis only on important topics (verses) of every Adhyay(Chapter) especially karma yoga, Atmasayam yoga and Bhakti yoga e.t.c

But the book, since is complied by Swami Madhurandana, is not as authentic as you must be expecting; you will observe at some places statement  by Swami Vivekananda, illustration of any incident or  any conversation between Swamiji and his disciple or any other entity are tameperd or moulded by author in order to prove his arguments, 


Like in certain places aurthor has blamed 'Buddhism' and 'Jainsim' responsible for advent of invaders and failure of santhan Dharma society through formation of bad habit (Tamas guna) by Hindu society like not taking initiative to fight injustice ( while claiming to be nonviolent and pacifist); which, I don't think so Swami Vivekananda ever thought, since as far as i know he never  blamed anyone for failure of sanatan Dharma society(Hindu) but always emphasis on self improvement(positive karma) and destruction of any kind of pride and delusion.


Also, this book at some point 'justified' birth based Castesim( like on Page 146) which i don't think Sawmi Vivekanand ever believed, as he always preached existence of God in every living being and boast that one should raise the self by self; i.e to be much more refined version of them!


In short, i would sum up by saying that You will only get 'his' opion on study of Bhagwat Gita by Swami Vivekananda,which as a reader you should preasume before buying, apart from these issue, complication of works of Swami Vivekananda is done brilliantly by Swami Madhurandana(author),


Despite of all this, it is best book on principle of Bhagavad Gita in a 'nutshell' as viewed by Swami Vivekananda and is very good for beginners,


I will advice you to use this book for skeleton reading and if you want to read in depth refer to other books; also read book like Rajyoga, Karmayoga and Vedanta and it's philosophy etc authored by Swami Vivekananda himself to understand outlook of Swamiji!
