Uddhava-gītā: Lord Krishna’s Final Message
The Bhagavad-gītā and the Uddhava-gītā present the same timeless path of devotion, surrender and spiritual realization. Yet the Uddhava-gītā takes the reader even deeper into the science of God, revealing profound truths about the soul, the material world, devotional service, renunciation and pure love for Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
On the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, Śrī Kṛṣṇa instructed Arjuna to abandon all varieties of religion, surrender completely unto Him and carry out His divine will. Arjuna accepted the Lord’s instruction and acted accordingly. In the Uddhava-gītā, Śrī Kṛṣṇa imparts His final and most intimate teachings to His beloved devotee Uddhava shortly before concluding His earthly pastimes.
While the Bhagavad-gītā appears within the Mahābhārata, the Uddhava-gītā is found in the Eleventh Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Both sacred works were compiled by Śrīla Vyāsadeva to reveal the divine character, teachings and transcendental glory of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s appearance in this world.
This exceptional edition of the Uddhava-gītā is enriched with the illuminating commentaries of two great Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava ācāryas—Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura. Their profound explanations uncover the deeper meaning of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s words and make these elevated teachings accessible to sincere spiritual seekers.
Complete with the original Sanskrit verses, Roman transliterations, clear English translations and extensive commentaries, this impressive 754-page hardbound edition is an invaluable companion for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s teachings and advance on the path of pure devotional service.
Discover the Lord’s final instructions—and enter more deeply into the timeless wisdom of the Vaiṣṇava tradition.
