Product Description
"THE YOGA OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA sheds a fascinating light on the true intent of India's beloved scripture. Yogananda shows how the warriors doing battle on the field of Kurukshetra are intended metaphorically to represent the negative tendencies of the human ego pitted against the divine qualities latent in each soul. He describes how each of us, through applying the profound wisdom of yoga, can achieve material and spiritual victory on the battlefield of daily life. This concise and inspiringnew book is a compilation of selections from Paramahansa Yogananda's in-depth, critically acclaimed volume translation of and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (God Talks With Arjuna). It presents truth-seekers with an ideal introduction to the Gita's timeless and universal teachings the liberating path of right action and meditation to achieve a permanent state of higher consciousness. Along with its companion volume The Yoga of Jesus, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the time-proven wisdom of the ages - including the millions of yoga practitioners who are ready to go beyond physical exercises to experience the spiritual depths and true essence of India's ancient science of inner peace, joy, and divine union.

Yogananda explains things so well, especially things like this which can be very difficult to put into understanding for someone who isn't well versed in religious scriptures! He has put everything into perspective with this book! I would also recommend Autobiography of a Yogi to anyone who hasn't read it yet to get more of an insight into becoming a yogi. He has a very good way of writing for all to understand.

Destined to become a Spiritual Classic!
8 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The editors and publishers at SRF have once again put together a masterpiece of spiritual wisdom harvested from the vast teachings - both spoken and written, of that great yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. It is almost like SRF has cloned the very creative and enlightened well of love that was Yogananda - and pulled out his teachings on the Bhagavad Gita from the astral world itself. This is a fresh and new approach to explaining the science of yoga - if that can be said about teachings and ideas that are thousands of years old.
The editors were very careful to keep true to Yogananda's teachings and his words. It has all his energy and thoughts carefully edited and threaded together in a very readable and enlightening format. The book will delight old SRF devotees and inspire new believers. The book delivers at all levels and one will find reading this book a real gift to their spirit.
I highly recommend this book to those who have an open mind and who want to spiritualize their life's journey. For those not familiar with the life of Yogananda I would strongly suggest the reading the spiritual classic "An Autobiography of a Yogi". This is destined to become another spiritual classic as well. It will never go out of date.

Baghavad Gita a Yoga Essential
4 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
Yogananda is easy to understand and is a great teacher. The Gita is a book which can enhance the spiritual quests of all seekers, regardless of religion. Though the setting is in ancient India, it can be easily translated into the symbology for every day life here in the West in the new millenium. The focus is on winning the battle within, letting the higher parts of ourselves be victorious and conquering those parts which sabotage and create pain for ourselves and others. Best of all, it can assist in deepening a real connection to that Higher Power, however we experience That. This book is definitely a book to take slowly, savoring each part and then applying it to one's daily life.

An outstanding and readable Translation of the Gita
3 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
After Studying numerous English language translations of the Bhagavad Gita for over 50 years, Yoganandas rendition of this inspiring scripture and life guide must be one of the most readable and accurate.
This book also serves as an introduction to the larger work "God Talks With Arjuna," Paramahansa Yogananda's Gita commentary. Published by Self-Realization Fellowship, LA USA in 1994.
It is wonderful to see the publisher come out with this smaller and more portable edition which I now carry with me everywhere when I travel.
This translation of the Bhagavad Gita clarifies and exposes more of the real meanings intended by the Gitas original author. Revealing more of the Gitas spiritual insights on Raja Yoga, True spirituality and psychology.
One of the worlds greatest aids to Self-Realization.
It provides a more enriched read in English language.
