The Bhagvat Gita, which was spoken perhaps five thousand years ago and has existed in its written form for over two thousand years, has continued to inspire new generations of seekers in the East and West for centuries. Gandhi in the East and Thoreau, Emerson, Einstein, and others in the West found within its pages deep wisdom, comfort, and contemporary applications to their lives and times. The Gita stands alongside the Bible, Dhammapada, Dao De Jing, Qur’an, and other significant sacred books as a universal source teaching that transcends sectarian religions. In addition, the Bhagavad Gita—along with the Yoga Sutras—is one of the two primary foundational books of the yoga path, aspects of which have become popular in the West in recent decades. Profound and illuminating, The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide will enhance the experience of this fundamental text for modern readers from all walks of life— from students to any individual seeking a deeper understanding of the foundations of yoga.
