In the Bhagavad Gita, Prince Arjuna asks direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide on the eve of a great battle. In this expanded edition of the most famous —and popular — of Indian criptures, Eknath Easwaran contextualizes the book culturally and historically and explains the key concepts of Hindu religious thought and the technical vocabulary of yoga. Chapter introductions, notes, and a glossary help readers understand the book’s message. Most importantly, this translation uses simple, clear language to impart the poetry, universality, and timelessness of the Gita’s teachings.
Beautiful
| Customer Rating: | | Easwaran does a really nice job of making this understandable for someone who does not have a background in Hinduism or this particular story. It gives an introduction at the beginning of each chapter so that you know what to look for and how to interpret it. Its perfect for someone seeking to better understand the Indian philosophy and world view. |
helpful intro text
| Customer Rating:  | | I found this edition to be very helpful to me as an introduction to The Bhagavad Gita. I had to learn about the Gita quickly in preparation for helping with the Gita-inspired CD "Ocean of Consciousness" by Jeffrey Fisher...it is a dynamic, new age/bluesy work illustrating the story in music! What a gift to be introduced to the Gita and Mr. Easwaran's writing through my work!!! |
A nice, easy-to-read version of the Bhagavad Gita
| Customer Rating: | | This was a pretty pleasant read. For people who are studying yoga, this version makes a lot of sense. I skipped over the philosophical interpretations first then went back and reread them. I kind of want a version with the poetry all together first then a more in-depth discussion afterwards. |
Lifelong Book
| Customer Rating: | | A great book with a strong translation. At first, I did not appreciate the introductions offered, however after reading the B. Gita, I have come to appreciate the introductions. Sometimes I read them after the section, so as to not gain a bias. The book itself is a wonderful story with a great message that everyone can benefit from. I intend to look for more versions of the B. Gita to expand my collection. I think it is important to read this book from a few different translators. So while I am happy with my first purchase of the B. Gita, it will not be my last, so I can not say if this is the best version out there. |
As bad as can be
| Customer Rating: | | Eknath Easwaran has not understood the Gita. In fact, it is pretty evident that he had no interest in the Gita. He just wanted the use the Gita to preach his own bogus message. His explanations are so far off from the verses, that you'd wonder whether he considered himself to be smarter than God. Why else should he discard the teachings of God and put his own? |
