Alternate Title: Gītārthasaṅgraha : Commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā : Gītārtha-saṁgraha Bhagavadgītā .

Description: Abhinavagupta lived in Kashmir at the end of the 10th century. He was a prolific writer, great scholar and an accomplished yogi.

In this text, Abhinavagupta explains that he composed this commentary because he felt that his predecessors had not understood the esoteric or secret meaning of the Bhagavad Gita. This text explores the message of the Gita in the context of the non-dualistic philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism and describes the practice of secret yoga at its core. -- from publisher
