A comprehensive manual for living a spiritual life, based on a
verse-by-verse commentary on India's timeless scripture - from the
author of its best-selling translation. (The ebook The Bhagavad
Gita for Daily Living 9781586381455 includes all three volumes in
this series.) The Bhagavad Gita is set on the battlefield of an
apocalyptic war between good and evil. Faced with a dire moral
dilemma, the warrior prince Arjuna turns in anguish to his
spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental
questions of life. Easwaran points out that Arjuna's crisis is
acutely modern. The Gita's battlefield is the struggle for
self-mastery that every human being must wage. Arjuna represents
each of us, and Sri Krishna is the Lord, instructing us in eighteen
chapters of lofty wisdom as we face the social, environmental, and
global challenges that threaten our world today. Easwaran is a
spiritual teacher and author of deep insight and warmth. His
verse-by-verse commentary interprets the Gita's teachings for
modern readers, explaining the Sanskrit concepts and philosophy and
applying them with practicality, wisdom, and humor to every aspect
of our work, our relationships, and our lives. With everyday
anecdotes, stories, and examples, he shows that the changes we long
to see in the world start with the transformation of our own
consciousness. The practical exercises recommended by Easwaran to
achieve transformation are part of a spiritual program he developed
for his own life. They are accessible to people from all
backgrounds and cultures. Urging us to adopt a higher image of the
human being, he assures us that peace and unity are within reach.
Each volume of this series covers six chapters of the Gita. Each
may be read on its own, but all three volumes together form an
in-depth, verse-by-verse explanation of this ancient scripture and
its relevance today. Each volume includes instructions in
Easwaran's eight-point program of passage meditation. Volume 1: The
first six chapters of the Gita explore the concept of the innermost
Self and source of wisdom in each of us. Easwaran explains how we
can begin to transform ourselves, even as householders engaged in
busy lives. Volume 2: The next six chapters of the Gita go beyond
the individual Self to explore the Supreme Reality underlying all
creation. Easwaran builds a bridge across the seeming divide
between scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom, and explains how
the concept of the unity of life can help us in all our
relationships. Volume 3: The final six chapters put forth an urgent
appeal for us to begin to see that all of us are one - to make the
connection between the Self within and the Reality underlying all
creation. Global in scope, the emphasis is on what we can do to
make a difference to heal our environment and establish peace in
the world. Easwaran's commentary is for all students of the Gita,
whatever their background, and for anyone who is trying to find a
path to wisdom, love, and kindness in themselves and our troubled
world. Written as an authoritative, accessible guide to a
much-loved scripture, it is a handbook for finding peace and
clarity within. This second edition incorporates revisions made
across all three volumes following the author's final instructions.
