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 universal 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.
