BHAGAVAD GITA THE SONG OF GOD

The sacred Bhagavad Gita is
much more than an epic for Hindus worldwide; in fact, it is the ultimate
universal guide to a life of peace and fulfilment. This song of God not only
provides a deeply philosophical understanding of the world, or Brahma Vidya,
but it also describes clear-cut techniques to implement spiritual precepts in
everyday life. This is why it is also called Yog Shastra, which includes
methodologies—karm yog, jnana yog and bhakti yog—for the practical
application of spiritual knowledge.

Set in the narrative framework of a discourse between Krishna and his
disciple Arjun on the verge of the Mahabharat war, the Gita is a
comprehensive and easy-to-understand summary of the Vedic way of life.  Frozen in inaction, Arjun turns to Krishna
for succour. Lord Krishna goes beyond his immediate dilemma to give Arjun a
profound discourse on life, both in theory and practice. In it, he
encapsulates the essence of spirituality and virtues like courage, honour,
death, love and duty.

Including original Sanskrit verses, and English transliterations as well as
translations, Swami Mukundananda’s commentary on the Gita contains
crystal-clear explanations, scriptural references and highly engaging
stories. Through the text of the scripture, he brings forth a treasure-chest
of life lessons for us to imbibe. With his characteristic charm, Swami
Mukundananda leads the reader page-by-page on the path to ever-lasting peace
and happiness.
