About the Author- 1
Annie Besant (1847-1933) was a British activist, championed various causes such as socialism, feminism, and secularism. She advocated for Irish and Indian self-rule and made history as the first female president of the Indian National Congress in 1917. Initially an atheist, she later found comfort in theosophy and became associated with the Theosophical Society. Besant played a significant role in the London matchgirls strike of 1888 and the London dock strike of 1889. Her transition from activism to theosophy significantly influenced her life and left a lasting impact as a proponent of spiritual and social reforms.
About the Author- 2
Bhagwan Das (1869-1958) was an Indian Theosophist and political figure known for his advocacy for national independence. Despite facing danger from colonial authorities, he opposed rioting as a form of protest and served in the Central Legislative Assembly. Das, awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1955, was instrumental in founding educational institutions like the Central Hindu College. He authored numerous books on topics ranging from Indian ideals of women's education to the science of social organization, leaving a significant legacy in Indian intellectual and political spheres. The Pranava-Vada of Gargyayana, a work he published, is notable in Theosophical literature.

Introduction
THIS edition of the Bhagavad-Gita has been prepared for the use of those who, while studying this Hindu scripture mainly for the sake of its priceless teachings, wish, being little acquainted with Samskrit, to utilise the text, thus gaining a fuller insight into the meaning than can be gained through a translation, and incidentally acquiring a better knowledge of that language also. A brief note on the grammar of Samskrit, putting before the reader a few of the most salient features thereof, is therefore added here, as likely to be of use. It will help by giving a bird's eye view of the subject and thus some idea of how one part is connected with another. The details must of course be looked up in any large grammar, if needed.
