Gita-Mulam is a book series that presents each chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita as a separate book. Gita-Mulam 12 is the Chapter Twelve of the Bhagavad-Gita, with original Sanskrit text, transliteration, translation and a brief commentary on each individual verse. You will find it to be an excellent resource for taking up exhaustive Gita study individually or in a group setting. The font and page size is large, and there is ample margin on sides for taking notes.

Amidst the sacred dialogue of Kurukshetra, where the Bhagavad-Gita bridges human longing and divine wisdom, we find in this canto Arjuna asking Bhagwana Shri Krishna a simple yet profound question: who is the greater yogi -- one devoted to the formless Absolute or one who worships the personal God? Chapter Twelve, the Bhakti-Yoga, is Bhagwana's luminous answer.

Shri Krishna affirms that both paths lead to the supreme goal, yet the path of devotion (bhakti) is often more accessible, anchored in love and surrender. Krishna paints the portrait of a true devotee: free from envy, steady in joy and sorrow, modest, unvindictive, and unwavering in faith. Such a heart becomes the Lord's own dwelling place. This chapter is the Gita's hymn to love as the highest yoga, where knowledge and action find their fulfillment in the intimacy of devotion.
