ANUGITA

I was searching for something related to BHAGAVAD GITA and by chance I looked upon this story called Anugita. I think I have read about this previously in some blog, I don’t remember exactly and I wasn’t interested at that time to look into it completely but this time I did read a part of it. The story goes like this…
As we all know Bhagavad-Gita was preached by Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield. The battle was won by the pandavas and everything went on well for them. On one occasion Arjuna and Krishna were talking, Arjuna said I completely forgot whatever you taught me in the battle field and asks Krishna to repeat it for him once again. But Krishna says that it is not possible to say the whole gita again and he himself cannot recollect the whole thing. But Arjuna being a close friend of Krishna, he persuades Krishna to say the core meaning of bhagavad-gita. Krishna says the whole gita in the form of a story to Arjuna. The story said by Krishna to Arjuna is called Anugita. Anugita is a shorter version of gita which gives the substance of gita in a few pages. If you would like to read a translated version of Anugita(click here).
