Acerca de esta escucha
This program is read by the author.
The Bhagavad Gita: A Song of God Retold in Simplified English is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library.
This unique edition of the timeless epic is designed to be accessible for listeners without any prior experience of Hinduism. Not simply a translation of the original, Viljoen has simplified and restated the Gita’s complex ideas, so that a first-time listener can fully appreciate the scope and beauty of this magnificent Indian classic. Written in concise, modern language, the retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work.
Part of the Mahabharata, the Gita is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna. Its verses contain some of the key ideas of Hindu philosophy - Dharma, Moksha, and various yogic practices. Originally written well over a thousand years ago, the Gita has proven to be a timeless source of wisdom, inspiring philosophers and revolutionaries alike in the millennia since it was written.
In addition to the retelling of the text, this edition includes a character list, a glossary of important terms, and chapters exploring the backstory from the Mahabharata and the impact and meaning of the Bhagavad Gita itself.
The Bhagavad Gita is an approachable way for today’s listeners to engage with one of history's richest spiritual epics.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Although theologians are apt to explain away these teachings in various ways, the Vedantists believe Christ meant what he said. Listen to this remarkable recording and discover how Vedanta goes to the very heart of Christ's teaching.Vedanta came to the West in the late 19th century, not to supplant any religion, but to bring a more tangible spirituality to those who seek it. Its goal has never been to proselytize, but to help man realize the divinity within him.

In the Upanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. In extraordinary visions, they experience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created the universe.

Said to be the world's longest poem, Mahabharata was originally composed in 100,000 Sanskrit verses by the ancient Indian sage Vyasa. Revered as a sacred text within Hinduism, it contains the great spiritual teaching Bhagavad-gita. Krishna Dharma has condensed the epic into a fast paced novel that fully retains the majestic mood of the original. A powerful and moving tale, it recounts the history of the five heroic Pandava brothers, sons of the Emperor Pandu.

Tantra Illuminated takes the listener on a fascinating journey to the very heart of original Tantra: its key teachings, foundational lineages, and transformative practices. Since the West's discovery of Tantra 100 years ago, there has been considerable fascination, speculation, and more than a little misinformation about this spiritual movement. Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India.

The practice of what is commonly known as hatha yoga is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. Yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative book Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening.

Insightful
I bought the paperback copy as the recording was so insightful. This book is a resource for those of us who have acknowledge of the high leveled scriptures of India. Mr. Viljoen provides background of culture and other Hindu Scriptures which fill in the gaps and allow the reader to have a stronger background (schemata) to then go back and read THE BHAGAVAD GITA with deeper spiritual application or insight for spiritual growth. I will finish the recording and then take notes on the paperback book. This author is a minister in the Center for Spiritual Living. (Religious Science?) This book added credibility to his new thought denomination as I have brushed their teachings and visited the churches and taken classes. These people seem to be more sincere than I first was skeptical of with their marketing approach to events and studies--however, as a Christian, I see this group as having a deeper merit. Anyway, this book will offer the foundation effectively for a person who wants to internalize the essence of the Indian Scriptures of THE BHAGAVAD GITA or Celestial Song. Pastor David had the author speak in San Jose at the CSL and it must have been a good lecture.
