Who was the writer of Bhagabat Gita?

Answer 1

The Bhagavad Gita (Bhagavad Gītā means "Song of God") is a Sanskrit text from the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata epic.

Krishna, as the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita, is referred to within as Bhagavan (the divine one), and the verses themselves, using the range and style of Sanskrit meter (chandas) with similes and metaphors, are written in a poetic form that is traditionally chanted; hence the title, which translates to "the Song of the Divine One". The Bhagavad Gita is revered as sacred by the majority of Hindu traditions, and especially so by followers of Krishna. It is commonly referred to as The Gita.

The content of the text is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and Prince and elaborates on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. During the discourse, Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself (Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form.

The Bhagavad Gita is also called Gītopaniṣad as well as Yogupaniṣad, implying its status as an 'Upanishad'. Since it is drawn from the Mahabharata, it is a Smṛti text, however referring to it as an Upanishad is intended to give it status comparable to that of śruti, or revealed knowledge.-

Answer 2

The compilation of the philosophy of BrahM Vidya narrated to Arjuna in the battle field of Kuru Kshetra was done by Maharshi Ved Vyasa, the author who wrote the great epic of Maha Bharata (then known as 'JAY' - VICTORY ). Thus you can say that the philosphical contents are of Bhagavan Shri Krishna and text presentation is done by Maharshi Ved Vyasa.
Some learned gentle man has tried to answer this question in the light of the research (?) of some even more learned historian who seems to have lived rather far from the culture of India and applied all the limited resources of his material know how to find out the time frame of this great philosophical creation. I do appreciate his efforts but also suggest some dedicated study in this direction with the help of some Indian scholar.

Answer 3

Bagavad Gita, is one of the most Holy books of the Hindus. It is a part of the Vyasa Bharatha. Vyasa Bharatha was told by Vyasa and written by Ganesh Ji. So if u want the writer, it is Ganesha.

If u want the person who told it, it was Lord Krishna.

For a long time, it was spread through word of mouth only.
The writings of those times are not read or understood by anyone today. So a Scientific date cannot be given properly.

Answer 4

Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa is the Author.
Bhagavad gita appears in the Mahabharata written by the Author.

Answer 5

Historian Robert N. Minor says:

"The Bhagavadgita was written about 150 B.C. by a devotee of another Indian deity, Krishna, whose popularity would spread throughout India. It was meant to be included in the Mahabharata by a Krishna bhakta, in order to show that devotion to Krishna was the key to an understanding of the Vedic religion."

R. C. Zaehner says:

As with almost every major religious text in India no firm date can be assigned to the Gītā. It seems certain, however, that it was written later than the 'classical' Upanishads with the possible exception of the Maitrī and that it is post-Buddhistic. One would probably not be going far wrong if one dated it at some time between the fifth and the second centuries B. C.

Given these "facts", it appears the original author is not known. It refers to a war which apparently took place (most likely) sometime before 900 BC. It is believed to have been ammended several times, but by whom?... No one seems to have recorded the author(s) name(s).

Answer 6

All the classics and vedas have been in poetiuc form so as to enable people to commit them to memory and convey them to the progeny fpor generations , before the alphabets were created .Mahabharatha itself is supposed to hve been narrated orally byVeda Vyasa known as Vyasa Bhagava to Lord Ganesh whi is reported to have wrtitten it on palm leafs using the tip of one of his ivory horn puposely broken by him to be used as an instrument to engrave the words on the palm leaves .
So it seems that the story has been carried forward in poetic form by oral traditon for generations before the scripts were invented to reduce them in writting .
It should hav ebben dictated by Veda vyasa and written down by somebody else ..
