The "Bhagavad Geeta" in English Poetry has been written using simple words that convey the desired meaning as envisioned in the Sanskrit shlokas. To make it more lucid for readers, each shloka has been translated into rhythmic prosaic English Poetry, which makes it easy to read and understand.

The book has its own style, the left page of the book has the Sanskrit shlokas with the English (Roman style) version given against each shloka to enable readers to pronounce the Sanskrit shlokas correctly. The meaning of some of the difficult words has also been provided to aid understanding. On the right side of the book, the English translation of each shloka has been given in rhythmic poetry corresponding to each Sanskrit shloka.

Thus, an attempt has been made to simplify the philosophy of life depicted in the Bhagavad Geeta, so that, more people may read it and benefit from its teachings to purify their souls and attain spiritual solace and eternal peace.
