COMPLETE ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO

SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA



COMPILED BY SWAMI KRISHNANANDA GIRI

INTRODUCTION


Many of us who have taken up serious study of the Bhagavad Gita and have not
yet become thoroughly acquainted with it, and even those who have been familiar with
the Gita over the years but dont remember each and every verse of it, may have
experienced the fact that the verses relating a definite subject may be scattered
throughout the 18 chapters. Most of the publications of the Gita do not seem to contain a
detailed subject index indicating the verses relating to those subjects. They may have an
index which may give the page numbers of the publication; but these page numbers often
relate to the interpretations of the Gita by the author and not the verses relating to the
subject.

It is to fulfil this need of a comprehensive and verse by verse index of the Gita
that this compilation has been attempted. The Sanskrit terms which are commonly found
in English language, such as Karma, are left normal, while others are in italics. In
addition to main subjects, there are sub-indices. These show the content of the verses in
brief. So it is hoped that the reader may easily locate the particular verse he may have in
mind.

It is hoped that this index may be useful as a reference book not only for personal
study of the users, but also for preparing classes, talks, satsangas relating to various
subjects.
