The Bhagavad Gita
$9.95

Translated for the Modern Reader by Eknath Easwaran

246 pages

The Bhagavad Gita is revered as a sacred text of Hindu philosophy. The name Bhagavad Gita, when translated into English, literally means 'Song of God'. Its written format is that of a poem which is 700 verses long, originating from the famous puranic epic Mahabharata. In this translation, The Bhagavad Gita stands out as a book of choices: direct, practical, universal. The Bhagavad Gita portrays the meeting of man and God. On the morning of battle, facing the forces of greed, anger, and hatred, the legendary prince Arjuna loses his nerve and refuses to fight. His friend Sri Krishna, who represents the Lord within, knows better: Your very nature will drive you to fight.

By reading The Bhagavad Gita you can broaden your knowledge of the Hindu religion. Grasp an understanding of the spirituality of the third largest religion in the world, and comprehend why approximately 900 million people chose the Hindu religion.

Maintaining a careful balance between introductions to each chapter and the text itself, Easwaran transposes the spirit of the Gita into our society's consciousness without compromising the spiritual depth.

Sri Eknath Easwaran is respected around the world as one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers. Although he did not travel or seek large audiences, his twenty-seven books on meditation and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into twenty-six languages in Europe, China, Japan, India, and Latin America, with over one million copies currently in print. Commentaries by him on current events and trends have appeared in the International Herald-Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, and the Christian Science Monitor.

Bhagavad Gita Brings Religion Back to Life

By Hector Marchena-Dominguez, El Paso, TX

I've just recently come across Eknath Easwaran's translation of this poetic and beautiful spiritual text Krishna's message. Anyone who is interested in religion and only read the Bible or the Qu'ran, is missing out on an incredible piece of religious writing. Easwaran's translation of the Bhagavad Gita is perfect for both spiritual and scholarly study. It's not uncommon to run into translations of religious texts which have been translated using very dry and dull language. Easwaran, a former English professor, brings his gift of language to this gorgeous text. The Bhagavad Gita is a book which I believe should be read by any ordained minister who is truly serious about their spiritual journey.
