Ranade

Gurudev  Ranade

Dr Ranade was a professor of Philosophy in Pune university, and a well regarded Spiritual (Advaiti) Guru in Maharashtra.  He wrote a book ” The Bhagavad Gita as a Philosophy of God-Realization.”

He was wrote a book that sequences the verses of Bhagavad Gita into 12 chapters by subject matter (instead of the 18 chapters).  The verses are translated in English and the book has been useful to many students for studying each subject  matter (of the BGita) in cohesive manner,  assimilate the teachings and meditate on this before moving on to the next subject matter.  This original book is called Dhyana Gita

Additionally, the translated verses in the book are recompiled to use the translation language used by Swami Dayananda and the Arsha Vidya Parampara. This recompilation is here for those who are more familiar with that language style.
