Book excerpt: Abhinavagupta, Probably The Greatest Genius Of India In The Fields Of Philosophy, Aesthetics, Poetics, Dramaturgy, Tantra And Mysticism, Is Being Rediscovered Only In The Last Few Decades. Although Several Scholars, In India And Abroad, Are Engaged In Studying His Works, It Is Surprising That There Are Still Few Translations Available. The Great Merit Of The Present Translation Of Abhinavagupta`S Summary Of The (Real And Secret) Meaning Of The Bhagavad Gita Lies In The Following: First, It Includes The Text And Translation Of The Kashmiri Version Of The Bhagavad Gita, Which In Places Differs From The One Commented Upon By Shankara. Besides, It Brings Out The Specific Meanings In The Context Of Kashmir Shaiva Philosophy And Yoga, Without Being Influenced By Samkhya Or Vedanta.
