In history of human culture the contribution of the Indian people in all the fields has been of the greatest importance. From India we derived domestic poultry, shellac, lemons, cotton, pepper, jute, rice, sugar, indigo, buffalo, cinnamon, ginger, sugarcane, the games of chess, pachisi, polo, the zero concept, the decimal system, the basics of certain philological concepts, a wealth of fables with moral import, an astonishing variety of artistic products, and innumerable ideas in philosophy and religion such as asceticism and monasticism.

Śrimad Bhagavad Gītā widely read but least understood the text. The present translation of Bhagavad Gītā is quite different from others in many aspects. The present translation depicts the Vedic scientific aspect of Śrimad Bhagavad Gītā keeping its spiritual, ethical and philosophical aspects intact without giving any religious colouring which is not at all intended by its narrator, author or script writer. It has been attempted that the basic tenets of Śrimad Bhagavad Gītā are presented in the most modern suitable terms for learned and laity. Philosophical concepts like the concept of life, death, rebirth etc. have been elaborated scientifically for the benefit of our readers. Hope the learned readers will find this compendium of Vedic philosophy and science most exciting and useful to determine the future course of their life to reach their cherished goal on the material or spiritual plane.

The fifth volume comprising of 1-49 Sargas of Upaśama Prakarana of the 8th edition of the Yogavāsiṣṭha is a thoroughly revised edition with respect to original Sanskrit Text, English translation and Notes. It also has Roman Transliteration of Sanskrit ślokas. This time a humble attempt is made to make this new edition free from all grammatical and typographical errors that were visible in the editions published by Parimal publications. Since an objective and the updated translation free from flaws is awaited since long and earlier editions could not fill up the gap, this new edition is presented with revised translation, illustrations and notes. Hope the readers and seekers will be benefited alike with the deep philosophical insights of the Yogavāsiṣṭha.
