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.

The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray."

Written almost two millennia ago, Patañjali's work focuses on how to attain the direct experience and realization of the purusa: the innermost individual self, or soul.

I'm in love with this marvelous work if art
I just finished the Bhagavad Gita and I am in love with our Great Creator, the Alpha and Omega. And I'm in love with whatever great soul first wrote this magnificent poem, Veda-Vyasa. And I'm so grateful that I listened to The Great Minds of Eastern Philosophy and was introduced to this marvelous work of art. Now I understand why so many great thinkers have been attracted to this text. I keep a hard copy on my nightstand and know I will be reading and re-reading it often as yet another directional guide on my path. ✨💓

Full of Wisdom
I bought this after having fallen totally in L ve with his translation and performance of the Tao Te Ching. it is my favourite book of all time and I think I've listened to it at least ten time so far.
The Bhagavad Gita is not quite as powerful as the Tao Te Ching, maybe it's just my preference for non fiction showing, but it is full of insight nevertheless.
I'd never actually read the Bhagavad Gita before so I'm glad I did and I'm glad it was Mitchell's translation and narration. Stephen Mitchell is a wonderful translator and narrator and Id read anything written or spoken by him.

I could listen to this again and again (and will do). The recording does sound ever so slightly muffled, but it's narrated in a clear and soothing voice so it didn't interfere with my enjoyment of it one bit. I look forward to listening to his translation of the Tao Te Ching.

The Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Lord", is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Easwaran's reliable and accessible version has consistently been the best-selling translation. Easwaran's introduction places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions give clear explanations of key concepts in that chapter.

The message of the Bhagavad Gita is eternal and unchanging, but the time that surrounds us is always changing, thus our perception of life, our current situation, and our necessity is also always changing. To meet the changing times and the present necessity, Swami B. G. Narasingha has presented a brief commentary, or Anuvrtti, for our modern world. The clear translation of the original Sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad Gita very approachable and easy to hear.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Sanskrit for "Song of the Lord", the Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu epic that constitutes part of the faith's vast cornerstone work, the "Mahabharata." The book provides timeless truths and indispensable advice for believers trying to overcome internal tensions, doubt and indecision. The teachings are conveyed in the form of a dialogue between the Pandava general Arjuna and the deity Krishna, who helps Arjuna understand his position in the Kurukshetra War, and guides him towards the right course of action.
