Publisher's summary

The ancient wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita for a modern audience.

The Bhagavad Gita contains timeless wisdom. Even today, thousands of years after it was first written, the key messages from the Bhagavad Gita are immensely powerful. It can help guide self-inquiry into what it means to live a purposeful and meaningful life. In this audiobook, Govind Chopra deconstructs key verses from the Indian holy book in the context of the challenges of 21st-century life.

Its key messages about self-control, self-knowledge, self-realization, and selfless action are more important than ever in today's click-bait culture.

In this audiobook, you will learn these 7 abiding lessons:

• Lesson One: Work Hard, But Remain Unattached To The Outcome
• Lesson Two: Your Mind Can Be Your Best Friend Or Your Worst Enemy
• Lesson Three: The Present Moment Is All There Is, So Pay Attention To It
• Lesson Four: Happiness Is A State Of Mind
• Lesson Five: The True Nature Of Reality Is Unknowable
• Lesson Six: Everybody Dies
• Lesson Seven: Consider The Middle Way

Life is what you make it

Listened to this when I was extremely frustrated that my hard work was not producing rewards. I learned to work hard for the sake of working hard and for the sake of helping others. Detach myself from results and life will work itself out. Look forward to listening to more on Yoga philosophy and Hinduism.

Wonderful audio book

The simplicity and depth of her masterful writing transports me to a magical place on earth, Sharanagati, and to a mystical place within, in search of my own self.

Everybody should listen this book!

The author's honesty and integrity in sharing his insights on the timeless teachings of the Gita set an example for every writer--how to write and uplift others as a service, without pretension and desire for fame. I look forward to her next book.

Informative book

The challenges and joys of relationships, communal- and self-sufficient living--and life in general--are examined through a perspective that allows us to presence our humanity yet challenges us to amplify our spiritual vision, leading to true harmony within and without. Practical and Powerful.

Quality content and narration!

The book gives us guidelines on how to be a spiritual being living in this material world and ways to develop the consciousness that will help foster an environment for loving relationships with family and friends, something that our spirit soul longs for.

Best One!

The Bhagavad-gita is a rich, transformational book that invites the listener to see life with new eyes. Govind's authentic sharing highlights the growth opportunities available in each and every experience and her insights show the potency of spiritual teachings to guide our way and enrich our love for God, self and others.

Excellent book

It’s a life changer! Beautiful and thought provoking. The narrator is easy to follow and enjoyable to listen to. Just read it!

Best Book

Very enjoyable audio, beautiful setting, well described, uplifting. Loved it. Thanks the author for a good job.

A great complement

I’ve recently read a great translation of the Gita and arrived at my individual conclusions. One thing I noticed about this book was that it gives you a fresh perspective on these scriptures and breaks it down for someone who may not have grasped the full and unique lessons of the book. I recommend it highly.
