by Paramahansa Yogananda
This work delves into the true intent of the Bhagavad Gita and reveals the deeper meaning of the symbology of this beloved world scripture.
Yogananda describes how it is possible, by applying the profound wisdom of yoga, to achieve material and spiritual victory on the battlefield of daily life.
This concise book is a compilation of selections from his in-depth, highly praised two-volume translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (God Talks with Arjuna). It presents truth-seekers with an ideal introduction to the Gita’s timeless and universal teachings — the liberating path of right action and meditation to achieve a permanent state of higher consciousness.
The book explores such topics as yoga methods for creating a life of peace and inner harmony; the psychological forces that help — as well as those that hinder — spiritual progress; the experience of deeper states of meditation and divine illumination; the ideal balance of material and spiritual goals; the cultivation of the ennobling qualities of the soul; and the use of self-analysis and introspection for continuous personal growth.
Yogananda’s original translation of the Gita verses, never before printed in sequential form, is also featured.
