## Description

The Bhagavad Gita is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Eknath Easwaran's best-selling translation is reliable, readable, and profound. Easwaran's 55-page introduction places the Bhagavad Gita in its historical setting, and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions clarify key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms. Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition in India, and learned Sanskrit from a young age. He was a professor of English literature before coming to the West on a Fulbright scholarship. A gifted teacher, he is recognized as an authority on the Indian classics and world mysticism. The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet, as Easwaran points out, the Gita is not what it seems - it's not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. "The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita's subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious." Arjuna's struggle in the Bhagavad Gita is acutely modern. He has lost his way on the battlefield of life and turns to find the path again by asking direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself. Krishna replies in 700 verses of sublime instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul. Easwaran shows the Gita's relevance to us today as we strive, like Arjuna, to do what is right.

Review: A book that helped me decide my purpose on this earth - This book doesn't prescribe a "religion". It doesn't tell you what to believe. What it does, is compile a library's worth of notes and findings from ancient indian meditation reflections. And it distils it into a helpful and approachable guide for living life truly, meaningfully, lovingly, and spiritually. You have to slow. down. And look within.
Review: One of the Most Important Texts created by Humanity - This text is absolutely eternal and unchanging. If the Library of Alexandria was to be burned down again and only this text remained, all other books which were lost could have a basis for being rewritten. Hearing Krishna explain the nature of the Self and it's relation to existence throughout the text to Arjuna constantly evokes a sort of primordial epiphany, as if the wisdom contained in the Gita is innate to all man, but don't realize it because of the various sensory distractions and mirages we concern ourselves with that act as veils shielding us from this wisdom. The Gita removes these veils, and to those souls who have an intuitive understanding of the Self they will notice these veils being removed. But to those whose experiences and concerns are limited to temporal affairs, they will see just another "superstitious sky god book". Even though Krishna is straight-forward and does not speak in symbolism, metaphor or parable as Muhammad or Jesus do, not everyone will understand or make use of the Gita. But if you've always felt that there was something off about the world even since you were a child, and feel lost in this godless and artificial modern world, and are put off from atheistic and corrupt "New Age" spirituality, the Gita is a priority for you. Eknath Easwaran's translation is supreme, and it's usually less than $8 on desertcart. Unlike most translators, Easwaran truly lived by this doctrine. His translation wasn't a mere scholarly work, but a spiritual duty of his, his gift to the West. There's chapter summaries before each chapter which explain in depth what is about to go down, which is very helpful. The Gita itself is not a lengthy or difficult read, it's actually difficult to put down once it's picked up. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's serious about a spiritual path.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent piece of Eastern philosophy and allegory for self-discipline
*by C***M on May 21, 2019*

As an atheist, I personally believe the Gita should not be understood as a literal description of events, and any passages that make too precise a claim (like the ones about the age of the universe) should be gently ignored. Instead, the Gita should be understood as a beautiful literary allegory that triggers all the right food for thought in every chapter. This book is an excellent piece of philosophy worth comparing with any work of Stoicism or Zen as well modern schools like virtue ethics and psychoanalysis. The writing style and story will feel similar in places while presenting a fresh perspective on some of life's deepest questions. The most significant detail of this book compared to those others is the choice to have the information shared in a dialogue between 2 people, Arjuna and Krishna. For much of the time I was reading, I imagined Arjuna and Krishna as the conscious and unconscious struggling with the challenges of life inside a single individual, as described by Neumann's psychoanalysis. Imagining their dialogue and claims in this way led me to reflect deeply about my own particular conscious and unconscious, and the lessons on integration fit relevantly. This book is also a core text in the Advaita Vedanta tradition, where it's argued that each individual has a long-lasting Atman as well as short-lived Avatars. I also recommend interpreting the words of Arjuna and Krishna through this lens. There are probably several frameworks that fit, so try to keep in any mind that are relevant to you as you read. This book is great for reading short passages at a time or for seeking out particular topics when relevant. If you're performing some tough activity, I recommend reading some of the passages from time to time as a boost to fortitude. I've been reading during rest periods from working out, and it's like an inspiring jolt of focus for bringing 100% of my strength to every set. I firmly believe I'll be bringing chapters from this book out for the rest of my life.
