The Gita Bhashya (Sanskrit: गीताभाष्य, romanizedGītābhāṣya),[1] also rendered the Bhagavad Gita Bhashya, is a commentary or treatise of the Bhagavad Gita by the Hindu philosopher Ramanuja.[2]

The work asserts the deity Vishnu to be the parat-tattva (supreme truth), and details the processes of bhakti yoga, karma yoga, and jnana yoga for the achievement of moksha (spiritual liberation). It also explores the concepts of the avataras of Vishnu and the practice of prapatti (self-surrender).[3][4]
