Eknath Easwaran Illustrator: . Bhagavad Gita (Includes DVD Talks on the Bhagavad Gita) Jaico Publishing House 2009 ISBN: 9788184950717

New Softcover . The Bhagavad Gita, aEURoeThe Song of the Lord,aEUR is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Eknath EaswaranaEUR s reliable, readable version has consistently been the bestselling translation. EaswaranaEUR s introduction places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions give clear explanations of key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms. The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. But, as Easwaran points out, the Gita is not what it seems aEUR" itaEUR s not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. aEURoeThe battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the GitaaEUR s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wageaEUR to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and worthwhile.

The morning prayer meetings were followed by his discourses and discussions on the Bhagavad Gita. Printed Pages: 396. .
