Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta contains the concluding gist of all the knowledge, which was available at the time of its transcription. For the benefit of many, Vedvyasa described a knowledge through the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield and termed it ‘secret’. Mention of this 'secret knowledge' appears in Bhagwat Geeta at different places which is intriguing and the presented translation attempts to reveal this secret with the help of historically known facts about language and in the light of Buddha’s teachings. Buddha’s teachings are from Shri S.N. Goenka's discourses delivered during Vipassana courses in various meditation centers around the world. These provided deeper insight into the matter and inspiration for undertaking this search. Various secrets and questions got resolved and revealed with their help.
The revealed secret is of great benefit to individuals and humanity in general. As described in the last verse of Geeta, it not only provides a method for purifying one's own mind and getting over the miseries of life, but also ensures triumph over evil influences and establishment of good laws for a society. Purification of mind through proper meditation, takes an individual on the path to joyful of living and 'Nirvana'.
