**Use copy in Blurb1Deep in India's past, Lord Krishna revealed the
700 verse Bhagavad-Gita, a spiritual poem containing universal,
nonsectarian truths. In 1995, Steven Pressfield decided to
introduce the Bhagavad-Gita to a contemporary audience, so he
restructured the Gita in terms of a golf novel, The Legend of
Bagger Vance. As he says, "In the Gita the troubled warrior Arjuna
receives instruction from Krishna, Supreme Lord of the Universe,
who has assumed human form as Arjuna's charioteer. Instead of a
troubled warrior, it's a troubled golf champion (Ranulph Junah);
instead of his charioteer, it's his caddie Bagger Vance." Now a
major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt
Damon and Will Smith, The Legend of Bagger Vance is loosely based
on the ancient Hindu epic. Steven Rosen, in Gita on the Green: The
Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance, draws the story out further
using some thirty years of Gita scholarship and a writing style
that is both eloquent and thorough. Rosen takes us on a colorful
journey into the golf world of Bagger Vance, as well as into the
spiritual realm of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. By the end of the journey,
one realizes that one has just read a commentary on the
Bhagavad-Gita while hitting a hole in one.
