Sirona Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hari bol and hi, there are indeed several Gitas (I think 13), e. g. a Ganesha Gita. The only one that I have ever seen and read (left aside the Bhagavad-Gita) is the Ashtavakra Gita. So I presume there's a good chance that there is a Shiva Gita too. I hope this is helpful to you.

Jahnava Nitai Das Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 There are over 108 different Gitas recited by various sages and divinities such as Shiva Gita, Rama Gita, Devi Gita, etc. The authenticity of some of them may be questionable. For example there is a Ganesha Gita that is word for word the Bhagavad Gita, with "sri bhagavan uvaca" being replaced by "sri ganeshovacha". Best to stick to the advice of Shankara: ekam shashtram devaki-putra-gitam "Let us follow one scripture, the divine song of Lord Krishna, the son of Devaki."

Sirona Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Dear Jndas, in case he she/he prefers to read a Shiva Gita instead of a Bhagavad-Gita, isn't this one's personal choice? Yours respectfully, Sirona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirona Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I tried hard to find the Shiva Gita but all I could get is the Ashtavakra Gita. It's here: http://www.realization.org/page/doc0/doc0004.htm I hope that it's interesting for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours respectfully, Sirona And if someone prefers to read Time magazine that is their choice as well. But the advice of the great saint Shankara is to read the Bhagavad Gita, for it will bring one the greatest result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirona Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Words causing no man woe, words ever true, Gentle and pleasing words, and those ye say In murmured reading of a Sacred Writ, -- These make the true religiousness of Speech.
