Essence of the Bhagavad Gita
Author: Eknath Easwaran
Publisher: Nilgiri Press
ISBN: 1586380680
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
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 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.

The Bhagavad Gita
Author: Swami Satyeswarananda Giri
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781877854125
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
The Sanskrit Classics publishes writings on the essential classical scriptures of the Vedic culture, as interpreted in the light of Realization by various Masters of Yoga. Lahirl Mahasay, fully-realized householder Yogi of Benares & the Polestar, the navigator of Kriya Yoga, wrote between 1886 & 1895. When completed, the Commentaries Series will include first English translations of all 26 scriptural Commentaries by him. Kriya Yoga is a term popularized by Swami Yogananda, but the teaching was liberally modified by him to suit 1930's America. Kriya Yoga information from his organizations is widely different from the original teaching. Kriyas are procedures utilizing breath to attain perfect Consciousness in the physical body, leading to Oneness with the ultimate Self. They must be received personally from a Master. The Sanskrit Classics makes the original Kriya Yoga tradition available for the first time to the English-speaking world. Swami Satyeswaranada Giri, an eminent Sanskrit scholar, possesses rare credentials as a Yogi, philosopher, educator, administrator & lawyer. After 20 years in hermitage education he spent 12 years in the Himalayas, often with Mahamunl Babaji, making annual trips to Bengal to attend disciples. Babaji then commissioned this publishing project.

Book Description
The Bhagavadgita is one phase of the Tripod of Indian philosophy and culture, the other two phases being the Upanishads and the Brahmasutras. While the Upanishads lay the foundation of the loftiest reach possible for humanity and the Brahmasutras logically elucidate the intricate issues involved in the Upanishads, the Bhagavadgita blends together the Transcendent and the Immanent features of the Ultimate Reality, bringing together into an integrated whole knowledge and action, the inner and the outer, the individual and the society, man and God, all which are portrayed as facets of a universal Operation, presenting entire life and all life as a perfectly complete organic wholeness, leaving nothing unsaid and attempting to solve every problem of life.
