The Bhagavad Gita has been called India's greatest contribution to the
world. For more than five thousand years, this great scripture has shown
millions in the East how to fill their lives with serenity and love.
Jack Hawley brings these ancient secrets to Western seekers in a
beautiful prose version that makes the story of the Gita clear and
exciting, and makes its truths understandable and easy to apply to our
busy lives.
The Gita is a universal love song sung by God to His friend man. It
can't be confined by any creed. It is a statement of the truths at the
core of what we all already believe, only it makes those truths clearer,
so they become immediately useful in our daily lives. These truths are
for our hearts, not just our heads.
The Gita is more than mere words or concepts. There is an accumulated
potency in it. To listen to the Gita is to be inspired in the true sense
of the term: to be "in-spirited," to inhale the ancient and ever-new
breath of spiritual energy.
