In this title, the translator of the best-selling "Bhagavad Gita" offers his explanation of the Gita's teachings and their relevance today - completely new material, clear and compelling. Based on talks with close students towards the end of his life, this book is the culmination of forty years teaching in the West. "The Bhagavad Gita", one of India's most influential scriptures, opens with the warrior-prince Arjuna frozen in indecision on the battlefield. He turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. For Easwaran, Arjuna's dilemma represents our own human condition: torn between opposing forces and confused about how to live. This completely new book from the author of a best-selling translation of the "Gita" is based on talks with close students towards the end of his life. Easwaran gives a clear, compelling explanation of the "Gita's" teachings. He highlights key themes, explains terminology, and shares his favorite verses. Like Arjuna, we face hard choices, and Easwaran shows how this timeless scripture has a contemporary application."The Gita" offers startling insights into our current crises - it also points a way forward for us, both as individuals and in our global society today.
