Sirona 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2003 Hari bol and hi, there are indeed several Gitas (I think 13), e. g. a Ganesha Gita. The only one that I have ever seen and read (left aside the Bhagavad-Gita) is the Ashtavakra Gita. So I presume there's a good chance that there is a Shiva Gita too. I hope this is helpful to you.

Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted January 21, 2003 There are over 108 different Gitas recited by various sages and divinities such as Shiva Gita, Rama Gita, Devi Gita, etc. The authenticity of some of them may be questionable. For example there is a Ganesha Gita that is word for word the Bhagavad Gita, with "sri bhagavan uvaca" being replaced by "sri ganeshovacha". Best to stick to the advice of Shankara: ekam shashtram devaki-putra-gitam "Let us follow one scripture, the divine song of Lord Krishna, the son of Devaki."

Sirona 1 Report post Posted January 24, 2003 I tried hard to find the Shiva Gita but all I could get is the Ashtavakra Gita. It's here: http://www.realization.org/page/doc0/doc0004.htm I hope that it's interesting for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yours respectfully, Sirona And if someone prefers to read Time magazine that is their choice as well. But the advice of the great saint Shankara is to read the Bhagavad Gita, for it will bring one the greatest result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
