"The heading on this volume might spell a surprise on many a reader, for it claims that knowledge contained in this volume has its source in the God Almighty or in the Gita Sermonizer Himself.

For the 'versions' herein throw adequate light, directly or indirectly, on the 'why' or 'wherefore' of the title."
