Summary

In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture.

Placing the Gita in a modern context, Easwaran shows how this classic text sheds light on the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, and the meaning of yoga. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation.

Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition and learned Sanskrit from an early age. A foremost translator and interpreter of the Gita, he taught classes on it for forty years, while living out the principles of the Gita in the midst of a busy family and community life.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna, the Lord, doesn’t tell the warrior prince Arjuna what to do: he shows Arjuna his choices and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide. Easwaran, too, shows us clearly how these teachings still apply to us–and how, like Arjuna, we must take courage and act wisely if we want our world to thrive.

Narrated by Paul Bazely, an actor of Indian heritage and a longtime student of Easwaran. Music by Yann Stoneman.

Magnificent.

This is a most,wonderful exploration of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. I was struck by the beauty of the Gita and its compassion. Given the time of its composition this makes it all the more remarkable. What gifts the Indian culture of that period has handed down to us and Eknath Easawaran is the perfect guide. This book is a real treasure - as was Eknath Easawaran. Lastly, and just to compete the perfect experience of listening to this audiobook, the narration is absolutely superb. I am sure Paul Bazely must have connections with the Hindu culture, so perfect was his diction and pronunciation.
