In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture.
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..
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.
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.
Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition and learned Sanskrit from an early age.
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.
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.
