About the Book The Bhagavad Gita opens with a crisis -- Prince Arjuna despairs on the battlefield, unsure if he should fight his kinsmen in a dreadful war. For Easwaran, the Gita's epic battle represents the war in our own hearts and Arjuna's anguish reflects the human condition: torn between opposing forces, confused about how to live. Sri Krishna's timeless guidance, Easwaran argues, can shed light on our dilemmas today. Placing the Gita's teachings in a modern context, Easwaran explores the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, the meaning of yoga, and how to heal the unconscious. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the practice of meditation and spiritual disciplines. Sri Krishna doesn't tell Arjuna what to do. He points out the prince's choices, and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide. Easwaran shows us clearly how these teachings still apply -- and how, like Arjuna, we must take courage and act wisely if we want our world to thrive.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita, an unsurpassable canonical scripture, provides the lessons of practical Vedanta. Whether one is desire-ridden, desireless, devotional, dispassionate, seeker, or a knower (Jnani), taking refuge with one's intellectual vessel in the Ganga of ambrosiac Gita, one always returns contented, and never empty-handed. This book presents the intrinsic essence of the highest philosophical truths of Gita, intelligible to a layperson eager to understand its meaning and message. It corrects the erroneous views of some who have made Karma-Yoga (Niskama-Karma) and the Yoga of Knowledge and Realization (Sankhya-Yoga) two separate subject matters of Gita by selectively ignoring words and verses that are not consistent with their views and misinterpreting words and verses suitable to their beliefs. Herein, Bhagavana Sri Krsna's words are interpreted consistently with the previous and the next verse and chapter from the beginning to the end, following their real intent. The book establishes the oneness between Sankhya-Yoga and Karma-Yoga, or the oneness between Karma-Renunciation and Karma-Yoga. They are set forth as only one means and provide only one fruit. The proper conduct of either is possible only after reaching that state, where the doer of Karma does not stay a doer, his doership-ego with its root nescience is burnt in the fire of knowledge. Thereby the relationship of I-ness and mineness in the body, senses, mind, and intellect is removed, and he becomes fit to attain steadfast union with oneness in the pure Atma, the Brahman.

La Bhaghavad Gita est le texte mystique le plus important de l'hindouisme. Poème de 700 versets composé en sanskrit entre le Vᶱ et le IIᶱ siècle av. J.-C., inclus dans la grande épopée indienne du Mahabharata, un joyau selon Gandhi. C'est une lecture fondamentale pour tous ceux qui pratiquent le yoga.
The Bhagavad Gita is a comprehensive spiritual guide of Hinduism, which includes the essence of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and all the other systems of Hindu philosophy. It therefore incorporates infinite wisdom in 700 verses. The Gita has noble philosophy, art and literature. The subject matter is in the form of a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. The thoughts expressed by Krishna are quite deep. Mahatma Gandhi said that \"when disappointment stares me in the face and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go to the Bhagavad Gita. I read a verse here and there, I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming tragedies - and my life has been full of tragedies - and if they have left no visible, no indelible scar on me, I owe it all to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita\".
