Sri Madhvacharya Bhagavad Gita Bhashya And Tatparya Nirnaya

A Sanskrit Text with English Translation. Says the author, "In my study of the commentaries on Bhagavad Gita by many commentators, I was surprised to see that I could get hardly any good word to word translations in English language of Sri Madhva's Bhashya (commentary) and Tatparyta Nirnaya (summation). Therefore, in 1995, when I took Sri Madhva's text for study and attempted translation in English language with few explanatory notes according to my own limited understanding and receptivity, even though i was aware that i was not qualified nor am I even now qualified to know Sri Madhva's mind, still traversing the Path walking through woods, dark and deep, thick foliage hiding the luminous Path.

Christian Elements in the Mahabharata Excepting the Bhagavadgita by Richard Garbe

The Monist. The author starts with the proposition that some aspects of monism might have entered the Mahabharata due to contact with Christianity. In the process he completely ignores the fact that Christianity itself derived many of its beliefs and practices from Zoroastrianism and Buddhism. The concept of Isvara as the Lord of the Universe is very ancient and pre-Christian. So, to believe that Christianity exerted any influence upon Vedic or Hindu beliefs and literature is preposterous. However, you may read this essay for its historical value with an open mind.
