My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Of the great seers, I am Bhrgu; of the words, I am the single-syllable (Om); of the sacrifices [performed with external objects], I am the sacrifice of muttered prayer; of the immovables, I am the Himalayan range.

Shri Purohit Swami

Of the great seers I am Bhrigu, of words I am Om, of offerings I am the silent prayer, among things immovable I am the Himalayas.

Swami Adidevananda

Of the great seers, I am Bhrgu. Of words, I am the single-lettered word Om. Of sacrifices, I am the sacrifice of Japa. Of immovable things I am the Himalayas.

Swami Gambirananda

Among the great sages I am Bhrgu; of words I am the single syllable (Om) [Om is the best because it is the name as well as the symbol of Brahman.]. Among rituals I am the ritual of Japa [Japa, muttering prayers-repeating passages from the Vedas, silently repeating names of deities, etc. Rituals often involve killing of animals. But Japa is free from such injury, and hence the best.] of the immovables, the Himalaya.

Swami Sivananda

Among the great sages I am Bhrigu; among words I am the monosyllable Om; among sacrifices I am the sacrifice of silent repetition; among immovable things the Himalayas I am.
