About this granth

Beyond the Bhagavad Gita, the epics and Puranas contain many other dialogues called 'Gitas'. Gita Sangraha (गीता-संग्रह, Gita Press book no. 1958) gathers twenty-five of them, each with its original text and a Hindi translation.

The contents show the range: the Ganesha Gita from the Ganesha Purana; the Bhikshu, Paramahamsa, Hamsa and Avadhuta Gitas from the Bhagavata; from the Mahabharata the Shadja, Pingala, Shampaka, Manki, Ajagara, Harita, Vritra, Putra, Kama and Narada Gitas, a second Hamsa Gita and the Uttara Gita; two Yama Gitas from the Vishnu and Agni Puranas; two Rama Gitas from the Adhyatma and Adbhuta Ramayanas; the Bhagavati (Parvati) Gita from the Devi Purana; and the Ashtavakra Gita and Dattatreya's Avadhuta Gita.

Many of these are short teachings on detachment, contentment, self-knowledge and devotion, such as the courtesan Pingala's awakening or the sage who lives like a python. The copy here is the sixth reprint, of Samvat 2074, and its 675 pages bring these scattered texts together in one volume.
