Gita Darshan

"According to me, I would call Krishna 'the father of psychology'. He is the first individual who has understood the wavering mind, the mind which is in conflict. He has seen the mind full of sorrow, the will power being fragmented - and has tried to bring integrity, unity and wholeness to the mind. He is the first individual who has introduced psychoanalysis and has explored the human mind." (Osho)

translated from

Hindi : Geeta-Darshan, Adhyaya 1-2 (गीता-दर्शन, अध्याय १-२)

Notes on the translation:

"Osho's discourses in Hindi on the Bhagavad Gita were given in the early 70's over a period of several years, and published in Hindi as a series of 8 voumes, under the title of Geeta-Darshan.

This volume contains Osho's discourses on Adhyaya 1 (Vishad Yoga) and Adhyaya 2 (Samkhaya Yoga) of the Bhagavad Gita.

Please note that Osho has translated into Hindi and interpreted the original Sanskrit 'shlokas' of the Bhagavad Gita, and refers to them throughout the whole series, not as 'shlokas' , but as 'sutras' . We have maintained his definition.

We have translated the 'sutras' from Hindi into English, hence this translation of the Bhagavad Gita has a unique flavour, which comes from Osho's original translation and interpretation of the 'shlokas' from Sanskrit into Hindi.

In this translation, the 'sutras' follow the same numeration as in the original Sanskrit version of the Bhagavad Gita."
