BHAGAVAD GITA: THE SONG OF GOD

ABOUT THIS BOOK

What is The sacred Bhagavad Gita is much more than an epic for Hindus worldwide; in fact, it is
the ultimate universal guide to a life of peace and fulfilment. This song of God not only provides a  deeply philosophical understanding of the world, or Brahma Vidya, but it also describes clear-cut techniques to implement spiritual precepts in everyday life. This is why it is also called Yog Shastra, which includes methodologies—karm yog, jnana yog and bhakti yog—for the practical application  of spiritual knowledge.
Set in the narrative framework of a discourse between Krishna and his disciple Arjun on the verge  of the Mahabharat war, the Gita is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand summary of the Vedic  way of life. Frozen in inaction, Arjun turns to Krishna for succour. Lord Krishna goes beyond his  immediate dilemma to give Arjun a profound discourse on life, both in theory and practice. In it,  he encapsulates the essence of spirituality and virtues like courage, honour, death, love and duty.
Including original Sanskrit verses, and English transliterations as well as translations, Swami
Mukundananda’s commentary on the Gita contains crystal-clear explanations, scriptural references and highly engaging stories. Through the text of the scripture, he brings forth a treasure-chest of  life lessons for us to imbibe. With his characteristic charm, Swami Mukundananda leads the reader  page-by-page on the path to ever-lasting peace and happiness.
