Book Description
Among the several modern commentaries on the Gita, this one is unique in the sense it is both down to earth and fascinatingly erudite. In explaining every verse, the author, the 13th President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, relates its real connotation and significance to not only what Shankaracharya said in his introduction to the Gita, or how Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda interpreted it in terms of practical Vedanta, but also how it conforms to the thinking of some of the greatest Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.The author also takes the readers on an enlightening voyage of discovery, where they meet Buddha, Mahavir, Tao, Christ and most of the thinkers in the West and he relates their thought by an ingenious interaction with the message of Sri Krishna. Even scientists like Einstein, famous neurologists like Charles Sherrington and poets like Wordsworth and Shelley and philosophers like Julian Huxley and Bertrand Russell are brought in by the author to give the readers an in-depth understanding of this great scripture. The author weaves every verse into the requirements of modern life and throws light on how man should lead his life while involved in his daily chores and fulfil his duties in accordance with the philosophy of action as taught by Sri Krishna. The book contains the Sanskrit slokas in Devanagari script, their English transliteration, simple meaning in English followed by explanation in English.

Book Description
The Bhagavad Gita, literally "The Song of God," is one of the most important spiritual and religious texts of the world, and is to Hindus what the Torah is to Jews, the Bible to Christians, and the Quran to Muslems. With text, translation, and Sri Aurobindo's commentary, this is probably the finest translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita that we have seen.

Book Description
Bhagavad Gita is one of the world oldest and most influential spiritual text. It is in the form of a dialogue between prince Arjuna and Krishna, on the great battlefield of Kurukshetra. Arjuna is filled with despair about the violence and death the imminent war will cause and is also grappling with other moral dilemnas. The Krishna-Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of topics, touching upon ethical concerns and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war that is about to take place. In this beautifully illustrated book, Neema Majmudar, Nandini Mirani and Saloni Jhaveri give us profound insights into the teachings of Lord Krishna by translating, analysing and explaining forty five key verses of the Gita especially chosen for their logic, wisdom and practicality. 'Finding Meaning in Life with the Bhagavad Gita' will enable us to address the larger challenges in life that we have little control over, such as pandemics, wars, and economic crisis, as well as concerns which are unique to each one of us-- the search for meaning in our daily existence, success in our careers, happiness in our personal lives, and also our longing for personal fulfillment. Neema Majmudar has a Master's degree in International Affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University, New York. She has studied the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Sanskrit with Swami Dayananda Saraswati, a great Vedanta scholar and visionary. She worked for almost twenty years at the United Nations before becoming a full time teacher of Vedanta and the Gita. Neema and her husband, Surya Tahora, conduct regular workshops and retreats on Vedanta. Nandini Mirani has an MBA in finance from Boston University. She serves as an active trustee of the non-profit Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital (MPUH), Gujarat, India. Saloni Jhaveri has an AB in economics from Barnard College. She co-founded and ran a software company for twenty two years. She has been involved with the TImes Litfest as a curator for children's events.
