One's Own Gita

Gita is written in Sanskrit, a language that few people know or are comfortable with. Most people depend on translations into other languages to form an idea of the contents of Gita. But there are many translations and various commentaries available for one to understand the meaning of the verses in Gita. The sanskrit language itself seems to give scope for varying interpretations of the verses. The sequence of verses may not always facilitate smooth pursuit of the meaning and rellationship among verses.
One may therefore need his own understanding at any point of time documented for regular review to evolve one's own understanding. This method may also have the risk of not understanding correctly. But this method has the chances of discovering one's own Gita for practice. So long as this practice is in full faith in Gita, a believer in Gita would receive aid from God to travel along the right direction.
For one who does not believe in Gita or Gita's God, the misinterpretation risk should not matter for his effort is to satisfy himself with what seems consistent to him.
The subsequeent postings in this blog is such an attempt to document one's own understanding at any point of time for future review.
Since Chapter Two of Gita appears to be in the nature of a Key to Gita, first Chapter Two is covered select verse-wise. Then, all the 18 chapters are covered in summsry form but in tune withb the original sequence of the verses but ignoring repititive or contextually difficult to relate verses.
